TorahLine Card Game Giveaway

Do your children complain that Jewish learning is boring? Do you need a fun and educational activity that will pull them away from tablets, computers and TV? 613 Games has the solution: the new TorahLine™ card game series!

Created by a father of four, Chesley “Akiva” Coughlin knows firsthand what kind of games actually appeal to little ones and will hold their limited interest. With a total playing time of approximately 15 minutes, it’s a quick, easy, and interactive way to teach Scripture to children.

The first game in the TorahLine series, Exodus from Egypt – Shemos, Va’eira and Bo, depicts the story of Passover through 90 colorful cards. The front of each card has an event title, a hand-drawn illustration, and verse text. The back includes the Torah portion and chapter/verse numbers. 

Like any other type of flash card, it helps with memorizing. Because a picture is also included, there is double reinforcement, which I love. We have played it twice as a family, with both kids and adults enjoying it, particularly my youngest who has difficulty with reading and prefers to learn visually. His favorite are the plague cards, which are, in his words, “gross but cool!”

Torahline is ideal for children ages 6+ and is a great tool for home use, at Hebrew schools, and Jewish camps. It would also make a super gift for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

One winner will receive their own game to try. Enter the giveaway by 2/11/17.

Move the American Embassy to Jerusalem? YES!

After endless years of delays, hand-wringing and the broken promises of multiple Presidents, there is renewed talk that the American embassy will finally be relocated from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by the Trump administration. (The history of these negotiations could fill volumes. This article provides a fine overview.)

Few issues are more dear to my heart, and that of every Zionist. If I had my way, it would be moved immediately. Such a significant step would prove that the U.S. is willing to officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, legitimizing the settlements, and hopefully putting to rest any possible idea of splitting the territory. (I’m 100% against making Jerusalem into a divided capital.)

Naysayers claim that the relocation will anger the Arab community and create more violence. Such a claim is meaningless when every single day Israel has to fight for survival from terrorists and extremists!

Moving the embassy, like everything that occurs in Israel, is political. Clinton, Bush, and Obama were worried about the fallout. Trump and Netanyahu don’t care about the critics. Let’s hope those two can work together as friends, building what should be a rock-solid relationship, and do what could’ve been done decades ago!
