Moses & The Burning Bush -Jewish Reading
Immerse your students in one of the most powerful and transformative stories in Jewish history!
Moses and the Burning Bush is the biblical account of God calling Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. Though raised as an Egyptian prince, Moses never forgot his Israelite roots. After killing an Egyptian for beating a slave, Moses fled to Midian where he became a shepherd. One day in the wilderness, Moses encountered a burning bush that was not consumed by the flames. God spoke to him from the bush, revealing his plan for Moses to demand Pharaoh free the Israelites and guide them to the Promised Land.
Despite humble beginnings as a baby set adrift in a basket to avoid being killed, Moses was prepared through divine providence to become a great leader. Though initially reluctant, feeling inadequate for such a mighty task, Moses ultimately embraced his calling to liberate his people with faith in God’s guiding hand. The story of Moses and the Burning Bush is a seminal event in Jewish history and is recounted in the Hebrew Bible as a testament to faith, leadership, and divine providence
A variety of engaging comprehension activities reinforce key details and higher-order thinking skills:
