Har Sinai Cupcakes-Parshas Yisro

Gather the family around for a fun Parshah food craft and dessert! Your kids are going to love creating these super easy and fun Har Sinai cupcakes!

In this week’s Parsha Moshe’s father-in-law, Yisro, hears about the great miracles Hashem performed for the Jewish People in the desert. He then travels from Midyan with Tziporah, Moshe’s wife and their two sons to join the Jewish people as they continue their travels. The Jewish Nation camp across Mount Sinai where they are told that Hashem has chosen them to be His Holy nation. On the sixth day of Sivan, the entire Jewish nation assembles around Har Sinai and Hashem descends on the mountain and proclaims the Aseres Hadibros, the Ten Commandments. The Children of Israel now become the Jewish Nation!
