PARSHA-PIX - Parshat B'reishit

Parsha Pix - B'reishit

Vintage ParshaPix. Upper-left are ON and OFF switches, representing LIGHT and DARKNESS, G-d's "work" for Day 1 of Creation.

Upper-right are representations of the upper and lower waters, from Day 2.
Beneath that scene is the dry land of Day 2 and the trees of day 3, the Creation of the Plant Kingdom.

To the left are Day 4's handiworks, the Sun, Moon, and the stars. (The question about how you can have EREV and BOKER on Days 1,2, and 3 without the Sun of Day 4, presupposes that the first week of creation was made up of "regular" days. It was anything but.)

Representatives of Day 5 include the ladybug, the eagle, the octopus, and the fish, all in the lower-left portion of the PP.

Day 6 samples in the lower-right include the kangaroo, beaver, cat, hippo, and people.

And representing Shabbat are the candlesticks.

A busy but simple collection of pictograms that you can use with younger children to include them in a discussion of Parshat HaShavua this week.

This interplay of light and dark was either a Day 1 or Day 4 creation. It is often produced by Day 3 creations. Its Hebrew homonym was Day 2.

And a PPP!!!
