The First 7 Makot

It's A Boy!- Parshat Shemot

This weeks Parsha, Parshat Shemot was filled with so many things, one of them being Moshe was born! But Pharoh did not like the Jews and decreed for all baby boys to be killed in the river. Yocheved, Moshe's mother does not want to kill her son, so she sends him off in the river in a basket. Bat-Pharoh (Batya) sees a baby in the river and stretches out her arm (another miracle) to grab him.

I decided to make Baby Boy in a basket cupcakes (the blue foot prints and the brown around the cupcake) because it was a miracle that Bat-Pharoh saw Moshe in the river and he became the savior of the Jewish people.

May we be able to find our saviors or be our own and bring the geulah!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish- Parshat Vayechi

In this weeks Parsha, Parshat Vayechi, Yaakov/Yisroel gives bracha's to all of his sons. He begins with Yosefs two sons Menashe and Ephraim. He crosses his hands and puts his right hand on Ephraims head even though he was the younger one and his left hand on Menashe's head. In the bracha Yaakov says "Hamalach hagoel oti mikol ra yevarech et han’arim vikareh bahem sh’mi V’shem avotai Avraham v’Yizchak v’yidgu larov b’kerev ha’aretz." V'yidgu meaning they should multiply like fish.

I chose to do fish cupcakes for this weeks Parsha, to represent all of the "fish" that came out of that Bracha.

Just like Yaakov gave a specific Bracha to each of his sons that was tailored for them, may Hashem bless us with exactly what we need.

Good Shabbos

Jump on the Wagon- Parshat Vayigash

In this weeks Parsha, Parshat Vayigash Yosef reveals himself to his brothers and would like to tell his father Yaakov that he is alive. But how would he make his father believe that he is really alive. He had to send something to prove to Yaaov that its really Yosef. Yosef was going to send wagons to his father with his brothers, why wagons you ask, as Rashi says "because as Yosef explained to his brothers to tell Yaaov, the last topic that Yaakov and Yosef studied together was the Eglah Arufah (If a stranger is found murdered between two cities, a calf is sacrificed by the town leaders) The word Agalot/ wagons, cans also be translated into calves.

I chose to make agalot/wagon cupcakes because it was a clear sign for Yaakov that his beloved son Yosef was still alive. May we all have clear signs in our lives, just like Yaakov did, to see what really is meant for each of us.

Good Shabbos
