Genesis 12-17 or Lech Lecha

Here is another great lap folder from the bible series, at Na’aseh VeNilmad.
This lap folder covers chapters 12-17 of the book of Genesis or the portion known as Lech Lecha.
You'll learn about how Abram uprooted himself , his wife and their followers from his birth land and followed Gods orders to go to the land of Canaan. You'll learn about his adventures in Egypt after a famine in Canaan forced him to move again.
You'll learn how he dealt with the troubles he had with his nephew Lot, and how he saved Lot from the hands of the victorious 4 kings.
Back on the home front you'll learn how Sarai dealt with being childless and about the birth of the Ishmaelite people.
Don't forget about the covenants god makes with Abram promising him that his offspring will be so great that he won't be able to count them. It is in this portion that G–d commanded us about the covenant of Circumcision.
We’ll hear about the promise that Sarai will have a child in her old age and why she called her child, Yitzhak (the Hebrew word for laugh). In this portion we also learn about the first official name changes.

Names and other such stuff

Some of you might have noticed that on the cover page of my lap folders I used to write Dr. Ilana Ekstein Michelson and now I've started to write Dr. Elana Ekstein Michelson. Well there is a good reason for that. When I was born my parents wrote my name on my birth certificate as Elana Ekstein. But for some reason they didn't like my name spelled with an E. So they taught me to spell it with an I. So all my life I've been spelling it with an I until this past summer I had to do something at social security and they said to me. "On all official documents you need to spell your name with an e because that’s the way it is spelled on your birth certificate. In order not to get confused about where I spell it with an I and where I spell it with an E I decided to spell it with an E all the time. So from now on you'll see it spelled with an E.

The pictures I promised you

This is what a finished lap folder on the first 5 chapters of Genesis would look like. You of course can attach the images and decorate the folder as you see fit.
Since I will be making a lap folder on each of the sections of the Bible, you may want to make these lap folders in a notebook style so in the end you would have a notebook on each of the 5 books of Moses. That way it would be easier to leaf back and forth through the chapters to review the material and of course show it off. Anyway you look at it, it is plain learning fun.
Enjoy!
