Where to now Zeidy?

We’re going to a Jewish zoo.

Huh? What makes a zoo Jewish?

For one thing it’s closed on Yom Kippur. There are more things that make this a “Jewish” zoo but we’ll see when we get there.

In the meantime kinderlach does anyone know why we are going to visit the zoo this month? What does Cheshvan have to do with animals?

I know Zeidy we just learned it! Cheshvan is the month the mabul the great flood started and Noach and all the animals went into the teivah.

Right! Give that girl an animal cracker! And a year later also in chodesh Cheshvan Noach and his “zoo” left the teivah after the flood. Okay everyone in and let’s zoom … zoom … zoom … to the zoo zoo zoo!
