3-D Clay Kosel Sculpture
Deepen the spiritual connection between students, the Beis Hamikdash, and the Kosel with this multi-sensory clay activity. Students will shape clay into bricks and build a model of the Kosel, complete with kvittels and greenery between the stones. While they create the model, ask students to think about/discuss what the Kosel means to them as individuals and to Klal Yisrael. After they complete the clay Kosel model, have your students record their thoughts and feelings in words as wishes, poems, or tefillos on the template provided.
