GOLD Weekday Challenge

EARNS YOU THE GOLD WEEKDAY BADGE.
During the week, there are a number of short blessings in the middle of the Amidah.  They are considered to be "asks" - they ask God for personal things AND for things that would be helpful to the community or to the Jewish people as a whole.  No - none of these are "asks" for a bicycle or a good grades.  We think you'll enjoy learning a bit more about them!


YOUR TASK:  
This is a "moving challenge" - we want YOU to move for 10 days ... you get to rest on Shabbat (Saturday) whenever it happens!  Your task is to get your whole body INTO some of the middle-of-the-Amidah blessings by enjoying the rhythm and the movements we've given you on our I'm Gonna Stand Up "exercise video."  It's a bit of physical exercise, and a bit of spiritual exercise, too!

The FIRST VIDEO  (below) is the "exercise/moving video."  It shows you how to move to each of the blessings we've chosen from the middle (not all blessings are here).  

• Make sure to have your computer, tablet or smart phone in a place where you have enough room to slide around!  
• Each of the 10 times you do this challenge, you'll turn on this video and "move along!"  

Consider this your "task video."  You watch it and move with it for 10 days, kinda like Wii and kinda like your XBox360.  As you move, think about how your movements helps you understand and connect to each blessing.

This is your "task video"

The SECOND  VIDEO (below) shows three people moving to the video.  You'll see that they are watching the video on the laptop in front of them.  It shows you what you might be doing as YOU watch and move to the video.



Keep track of your ten days on a calendar at home!
