Two weeks ago I posted
about what I do every summer at URJ Camp Newman – teaching kids to cut
paper.
Last week I posted about the campers' first projects:
mizrach plaques. This is the third of my four posts about cutting paper at Camp Newman, and this one is about the big project: paper midrash.

All of the campers in the two-hours-a-day
yetzirah group (and many in the one-hour-a-day
hizdamnut group) made "paper midrash" – they used their newly-developed papercutting skills to tell a story
from the
Tanakh (Torah, prophets, and writings) or
midrash, picking a story or theme that was personally meaningful and interpreting it in this medium.

| The Giants |

| Parting the Sea |

| David and Goliath: Kavannah |
 |
| Samson |
Others had more esoteric sources for their work, pulling ideas from
Sefer haAgaddah or other books that I brought for inspiration.

Next time – my last post about the camp workshops – will feature photos of the finished group projects which we made as a gift for camp.
