Understanding Tabernacle

Understanding Tabernacle VS Today's Life

The last lesson of Kingdom Kidz Omega Class was last Sunday, there will be no classes in Dec alone, there we have rehearsal for KK Christmas Evangelic Pafty, Christmas Rally, Sunday Celebration and KK off Sunday, next lesson to be continued would be in January 2016.

Cover of the lapbook Lesson on Worship

Last subject was Lesson on Worship for Kids, I taught this in year 2012, and teaching again this year, still unable to finish the whole lesson, this time we covered till the lesson on Golden Candlestick, as I was teaching "Entering God's Presence", understanding today's life is very much related to the setting of God's tabernacle. Tabernacle was built according to God's instruction, every piece of the furniture in courtyard and inner court has it's meaning to go with our inner self and the relationship to God.

mini little things about worship

I never knew about it until I start teaching it. I have doubted about why teaching Tabernacle, will it be too heavy to kids of 7 and 8 years old? Will they feel bored about it talking about a 'tent' of ancient time...

I was being questioned why the need of teaching, I became very sure of the importance of teaching Tabernacle, it is very interesting indeed, showing and telling kids how every item of the furniture is related to our daily lives, our mentality, our attitude and our hearts toward God.

Previous meeting in JB FGC with Eunice, she showed me that someone sponsored many packets of air dry dough, with various colours, I requested a left over packet that she had in her hand. It was sat on my dining table since then, until this evening I looked at it, pressed on it, on a whim of thought, took them out to mold them into 6 items of furniture in Tabernacle of Israel. Ready to make a simple model for future teaching visual aids.

The complete model of Tabernacle is not built yet, here are the 6 items I have made by using air dry dough (I should have using yellow colour right?)

Simple meaning of each item 

in Tabernacle

Courtyard

 

Brazen Altar

Burning offering: Jesus is the offering for our sins. We are to give our talents, time, effort to serve in all ways in ministries as our burning offering.

Bronze Laver

To examine our hearts always, to confess and be repented before entering God's presence.

Inner Court

Have Faith and know there is God

 There are three items in inner court

Table of Showbread

First item on the right is table of showbread: Learn and hid God's Word in our hearts.

Golden Lamp stand / Candlestick

Fire: Jesus is The Light of the World

Fruit : Be fruitful and knowing God is watching all the time

Oil: Holy Spirit, all things are possible

Alter of incense

Never cease praying

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Veil

Holy of Holies

Ark of The Covenant

There are three items are placed in Ark of The Covenant

- The 2 stone tablets of the Ten commandments
- Aaron's Sprouted Rod
- Jar of Manna

The promises of God's salvation, authority and faithfulness

Most of all, a worshipful life is a life without fail of sharing God's salvation.

Teaching kids to share with friends of God's Salvation by using colour felt.

4) Add B to blend
    mc / 30 sec / Rev / speed 7

5) Transfer half batch of dough to baking tray lined with baking sheet or greased pan, lightly hand knead to form a 1.5 inch thick round disc. Then do the same on the other half dough.

6) Cut each into 12 wedges, leaving them on the baking  tray.

7) Brush with milk, then sprinkle on the sugar combined with cinnamon.Then slightly separate them to make some space in between each wedge, 

8) Bake for 15 min to 20 min or until golden brown.

I made the disc on a baking mat, but I thought it is unnecessary to use mat, very minimal kneading needed,  instead, you may just knead and make dough disc on the baking tray straight away, less washing! :p

Know the math, know to bake!

Back to School Calculation!!

Know the math, know to bake! :) Like what Chinese said: “知己知彼，百战百胜。”  mmmmm, doesn't relate?! Forget about it! 

I know there is this percentage calculation in all bread recipes, like the one in sourdough bread recipes - Calculating Hydration Percentage of Sourdough Starter. That is why you don't need to hunt for recipe and try to collect all recipes for different types of bread, you may write your own recipe if you know the percentage of one nice and soft bread recipe. 

Base on the bread recipe I love the most, which is soft and fluffy - Challah Bread

Bread Flour  100%

Liquid  44%

Butter 9%

Sugar 18%

Dried Yeast 1.2%

Salt 2%

Total of 174%

If you have 300g bread flour

The formula is

 300 x  (the percentage number) then divided by 100

 as I am using phone calculator which doesn't have % in the keypad, and assume you do the same. 

Bread Flour  100%                              300g

Liquid  44% (300 x 44 *100)             132g (egg + milk + cream or just plain water)

Butter 9%    (300 x 9 *100)                27g             

Sugar 18%   (300 x 18 *100)              54g

Dried Yeast 1.2% (300 x 1.2 *100)   3.6g (1 tsp is equal to 2.8g)

Salt 2%

Ok, got it yet? Whenever you use this, you can make all different sizes bread. well of course the sugar and butter ratio are very flexible. 

Only that the ratio between flour:water has to be careful, too less of water gives harder bread.

Plain BREAD

If you intend to make bread without sugar and butter, then the ratio between flour : water has to be higher in water ratio.

Normal ration to flour alone is 66%

Which means, if you are making bread for just as simple as flour, water, yeast and salt

The ratio goes:

Bread Flour  100%

Liquid  66%

Dried Yeast 1%

Salt 2%

You may also decide how much dough you want. 

If you wish to make only total weight of 500g dough, the total percentage of above soft bread is 174%

So it will be 1.74

Here is the formula

Use the desired number of total weight (500g) divides 1.74

Flour 500g / 1.74  =  287g

Now we know the weight of bread flour

Bread Flour  100%                             287g

Liquid  44% (287 x 44 *100)             126g (egg + milk + cream or just plain water)

Butter 9%    (287 x 9 *100)                26g             

Sugar 18%   (287 x 18 *100)              52g

Dried Yeast 1.2% (287 x 1.2 *100)   3g (1 tsp is equal to 2.8g)

Salt 2%  (287 x 2 *100)                       6g

Total of 174%  = 500g Total weight

Tadah! haha actually.... don't border lah! Just follow whatever recipes you have!

Challah Bread

Challah is a special Jewish braided bread eaten on Sabbath and Jewish holidays

More reading on Challah - the braided Sabbath Bread by Claudia Roden

Challah is made in various sizes and shapes, all of which have a meaning. Braided ones, which may have three, four, or six strands, are the most common, and because they look like arms intertwined, symbolize love. Three braids symbolize truth, peace, and justice. Twelve humps from two small or one large braided bread recall the miracle of the 12 loaves for the 12 tribes of Israel. Round loaves, where there is no beginning and no end,? are baked for Rosh Hashanah to symbolize continuity. Ladder and hand shapes are served at the meal before the fast of Yom Kippur the ladder signifying that we should ascend to great heights, the hand that we may be inscribed for a good year. On Purim, small triangular loaves symbolize Haman’s ears; at Shavuot, two oblongs side by side represent the Tablets of the Law. The bulkah is a segmented rectangular challah. Sweet challahs with honey or raisins are baked during the festive season to bring joy and happiness.

And “How to make Challah" by Tori

challah is so much more than just bread. The tradition of challah is a very spiritual one; for observant Jews, it is a way to directly connect with the spiritual energy of God. In fact, baking challah is considered an important blessing in the Jewish home.

Today, the word challah is used to describe the beautiful loaf of braided bread that appears on Shabbat tables all over the world. In ancient times, challah referred to a small bit of dough that was set aside for the Temple priests as an offering to God:

Of the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; like a contribution from the threshing floor, so shall you present it.

Numbers 15:20

This is just my new found, did a few of google search to find out this meaningful bread. I have changed to my own liking taste. Original Challah is usually using plain flour and less sweetness. Here it is the Challah Recipe - Jane's Version Challah Bread. 

Thermomix Recipe

Jane's Challah 

Ingredients A:

100g Cream

140 g "2 eggs + Milk" ( I added in the egg white that dismissed for egg wash)

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Pinch of  salt

1 tsp Vanilla extract

Sesame seeds and poppy seeds for sprinkling 

Egg Wash

1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp water
(Beat till smooth)

• Instructions:

1. Mix ingredients A,
    mc / 1 min / speed 3

2. Add ingredients B to mix well
    mc / 30 sec / speed 3-6 ( increase from 3 after 3 seconds turn to speed 6)

3. Then, knead
    mc / 3 min / knead 

4. Transfer the dough to Thermo mat, knead and mold into a ball shape, wrap with Thermo mat to proof for 1 hour.

5. After 1 hour degas the dough, knead raisins even into bread dough. Divide dough into two halves, work one by one. Take one half, divided into desired equal parts, if you would like to plait 6 strands, then divide into 6 parts. 

6. Follow braiding instructions to start braiding. Keep braided challah bread dough on a greased baking tray, cover with cloth, wait for another proofing for 45 minutes. 

7. Preheat oven at 180°C. Egg wash the bread dough, sprinkle lots of sesame seeds over the bread before baking. Bake for 16 - 20 minutes.

8. After 12 minutes Turn baking tray around to allow challah bread brown evenly. 

9. Bake for another 8 minutes, add a foil tent over the bread to prevent surface over burn. 

10. To test if it is fully done, turn bread around to tap on the base of the bread, it makes hollow sound. Let it cool on cooling tray.

Lots of poppy seeds and sesame seeds

Jane Very Cinnamon rolls

I love cinnamon rolls very very much, and because of getting it from store simply can cost you up to RM5 after tax, I rather hold my throat every time I see it and pass by the store. I have tried making once using another recipe, it was too hard and dry, too little of cinnamon taste. You know sometimes when you failed once, you will tend to have a little hold back of thinking to making it another round.

   This was the option (a) it is really challenging when rolling up.

1.     b) Put all ingredients in TM bowl to mix ( I chose this option this time, and found it the option a. is easier to spread evenly, however the rolling up work is comparatively easier. haha )
2.         mc / 8 sec / speed 4



This was the paste blended with TM5, fast, ease, and instant!

3. 
4. 6) Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough up to the top edge.
