Building Jewish Life: Gods Image

Grades: 3-4        BJL Synagogue looks at the synagogue as a dynamic place. Its central focus is the model of the synagogue including three basic functions—a beit tefillah (a house of prayer), a beit midrash (a house of study), and a beit k'nesset (a house of gathering). 

This lesson begins with the statement "God created people in God's image." From this one statement, we learn that we are all created in God's image. Jews understand that it means acting like God. Within this packet we will focus on this main idea by reading a story about being God's partner, completing an exercise on how we can achieve being God's partner, doing an activity on things we share with God, and reading a story about seeing and believing in God.
