FREE: Twelve Shevatim / Twelve Tribes / שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל “Dice” Game

imageThis printable activity goes with last night’s printable dodecahedron.

In keeping with the theme of twelves, it’s a race to twelve points – roll the die and identify the mother of the shevet / tribe you’ve just rolled.  If you get it right (answer charts are included in English, Hebrew, and Transliterated English), you earn points – more for Rachel, Bilhah and Zilpah, and fewer for Leah (to discourage guessing “Leah” every single time!).  :-)

Have fun memorizing these important details!  PLEASE – I’d love feedback, so just leave a comment if this resource is useful to you.  If you follow me here or on Twitter, even better.

    LOVE this tool... but had to go find my own printable dodecahedron and make my own - yours isn't compatible with dial-up machines from the stone age, apparently. Anyhow, I will be linking to your page from my blog, so others can see/use this. Thank you!

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
