Children's Torah Study

Hello, Children! Good to see you again! I am starting a new page here on Grandma's Chair. We are going to study some of the stories in Torah. While there will still be a few pictures, this will focus mainly on discovering what we can learn from the Holy Word of God. Some of these lessons will be written as a series. That means that more parts will occasionally be added to the bottom of certain lessons, so keep checking even if you have already read the first part!

Creation

January 25, 2026

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)

Several years ago (when your parents were still children) Grandpa gave me a very pretty quilt. It had been made by a group of elderly ladies who lived at the retirement home where I worked at that time. I would see them working on this quilt in the common sewing room, but I didn't know it was for me! It took them quite a while to cut all the little pieces and sew them together to make the finished product.

This quilt is a good illustration of a very important point. Just by looking at the quilt, you can tell that it didn't just happen by itself.

There is a theory, called evolution, that is taught in public schools. It teaches that everything in the world just happened by accident. The Torah (which is the Word of the Most High God) teaches that He is the One who made the world and everything in it. We are going to study about God's creation as told in the first couple chapters of Genesis.
