Jerusalem--Holy City to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Learn more about the Holy City with preschool Bible crafts and activities
Well, let's see, Mimi. I've always been interested in the Holy Land and the Holy City of Jerusalem. Wanna go? Of course I do! Take my hand and let's jump to Jerusalem!
Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, Mimi. It's history goes clear back to around 4,000 years BCE. What a beautiful, historical place to learn preschool Bible crafts this is! Was Jesus born here, McAveler?
So is No Mimi, that happened in the valley of Elah southwest of Jerusalem.
It's because many Jewish boys don't get their first haircut until the age of three on the holiday of Lag Ba'omer. Mom saved a lock of my hair when I got my first haircut at two years of age. She said that was when I started to look like a little man instead of a girl. Yum, yum, exclaims Mimi. Just look at the delicious looking bread that woman is making, McAveler. What is it called?
When we get home, let's see if mom and dad will help us learn how to bake Challah Bread! It makes me so hungry just to look at it! Mmmmm look, she's also feeding her son a delicious looking bowl of soup. I wonder what kind of soup it is, Mimi?
It's made with matzo meal, eggs, oil, salt and pepper. Hot and delicious. I'm impressed, Mimi. Your knowledge about preschool Bible crafts is SOUPER! Hey look at the craft that girl just made with soup spoons! I want to teach our little cousins how to make a Star of David with soup spoons for their preschool Bible crafts! OK, but what can I teach them, McAveler? How about a BAB, Mimi? A BAB, what's that? A bad attitude box. You know, we love them ever so much but sometimes they just aren't as nice and polite to others as they should be. It might help them to do better if they make a bad attitude box and put some bad attitude in it! I sure hope so, says Mimi, happily. You know, sometimes preschool Bible crafts can come in very handy! McAveler, is there a Joanns Fabric Store

It's a sunny afternoon. Where can we go to learn preschool Bible crafts to teach to our little cousins, McAveler?
Look McAveler! There is the Old City and the Dome of The Rock. And that must be the Wailing Wall.
Jesus wasn't born in Jerusalem, Mimi. He was born in Bethlehem which means City of Bread in Hebrew. Bethlehem is located about 6 miles to the south of Jerusalem. That is also where King David was born.
McAveler, just look at that darling little boy standing over there! It looks like he's about to make an offering to help the poor. I wonder why his parents haven't cut his hair yet?
They call it Challah Bread, Mimi. It's the bread used on the Sabbath and at many festivals. 
Wow, McAveler, I'm surprised you don't know that. I know what it's called. It's called Matzo Ball Soup.
