Nun

This week we learned the letter Nun. Nun has a little line on top, a big line that goes down and a little line on the bottom.
The nun looks like a ner.
Our friend Nosson starts with letter nun.

We learned other nun words like '"neshama"(soul,) which is a part of Hashem (G-d) inside of us that we cannot see.

Netlilas Yadayim means washing hands (as a spiritual cleansing.) Every night when a person goes to sleep, a part of their Neshama goes back to Hashem. When he wakes up his Neshama returns to him! In the morning, we wash our hands in a special way: We take a cup and wash our right hand then our left hand, right, left, right and left hand with a total of 3 times on each hand.
Netilas yadayim is also done before eating bread.


Nes means a miracle, something that Hashem can do for us to help us that is not regular. An example of a nes that we have learned about is the splitting of the Red Sea.
