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.

This giveaway is inspired by “Jewish Christmas,” as in there’s nothing to do, so let’s go to a movie and then have Chinese afterwards. That’s definitely what I’m doing today, although I could probably eat Chinese daily without growing sick of it (just not before bed!)

Enter to win and you could be feasting at Panda Express!

What’s your favorite Entrée? Mine is Orange Chicken.

Ever since my children were born, my husband and I have tried our best to read to them every night before bed. This ritual is a cherished bonding experience for our family. Not only are we instilling a love for learning and reading, we are sharing time together and building memories.

We select a wide variety of age-appropriate books, both secular and religious. Kar-Ben Publishing, an authority on Jewish books for children, has long been a favorite. That’s why I am so excited that they’re sponsoring this fantastic giveaway!

One winner will receive a 3-piece set that will include these fun and informative titles:

A Hanukkah with Mazel

Misha, a poor artist, has no one to celebrate Hanukkah with until he discovers a hungry cat in his barn. The lucky little cat, Mazel, inspires him to turn each night of Hanukkah into something special. He doesn’t have money for Hanukkah candles, but he can use his artistic skills to bring light anyway. Ideal for ages 3-8.

Hanukkah Delight!

Whimsical bunnies celebrate Hanukkah in this charming rhyming board book that describes all the Hanukkah rituals beloved by Jewish kids. Ideal for ages 1-4.

The Count’s Hanukkah Countdown

From the popular Shalom Sesame series, Grover and the Count welcome visiting Israeli Muppet friends Brosh and Avigail to a Hanukkah party on Sesame Street. Ideal for ages 2-6.

The Hanukkah Book Giveaway will be open thru 12/15. Good luck!
