Each week at the \u201cBeit Tsindlicht\u201d Children\u2019s Educational Center, the leading preschool of the Jewish Community of Dnipro, follows a dedicated theme that runs through all lessons and activities, allowing children to explore it from various angles.<\/p>

<\/p>

This week, the little ones learned about the concept of \u201cshadows\u201d not just in a practical sense, but also as an essential element of the world\u2019s structure. They explored how objects cast shadows, what factors influence them, how the size and intensity of a shadow relate to its light source, what the shape of a shadow can tell us \u2013 and much more. <\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cThe children loved the shadow games,\u201d shares Malka Averbukh, a preschool teacher at the kindergarten. \u201cWe guessed objects by their shadows and traced silhouettes based on shadows \u2013 this helped introduce the concept of \u2018projection\u2019. The week concluded with a shadow puppet theater performance and a spectacular light show, because the source of every shadow is light \u2013 shadows only exist where there is light.\u201d<\/p>

<\/p>

The metaphorical, philosophical, and spiritual interpretation of \u201cshadow\u201d appears in many foundational Jewish texts \u2013 including the books of the Tanakh, the Talmud, and classical Hasidic works, such as Tanya, the seminal book by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, Founder of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
