Reading: Monika und Udo Tworuschka, Die Weltreligionen Kindern erklärt, loc. 826-847 (Islam; biography of Muhammed)/2119. Listening: Die Bibel, 1.42-2.13 (Genesis 23-27).
J really liked the story of Jacob and Esau. He laughed out loud when it was told how the brothers fought with each other even in Rebekah's womb: "und Rebekka, sein Weib, ward schwanger. Und die Kinder stießen sich miteinander in ihrem Leibe" (Gen. 25: 21-22). He wanted to listen to that passage several times and brought it up later. When we got home we looked at images of the iconic scenes.
Even though we didn't get this far today, I did tell Jamie that the story of Jacob and Esau has a happy ending and that the brothers are reconciled:
Apropos of Isaac/Rebekah we also discussed marriage customs in ancient times and other parts of the world like arranged marriages and cousin marriage.
The reading on Islam was also fortuitous because it discussed the connections between the Islamic and the Jewish traditions: Ibrahim/Abraham, Musa/Moses, Isa/Jesus, the angel Gabriel.
