Measuring with a scale

 
 
 
 
On Yom Kippur, Hashem measures our good deeds against our Avieros-transgressions, (or mistakes). We reenacted this with a real scale. We put our good deeds (ex. Money for tzedaka) on one side and our "mistakes" on the other (ex. a car that wasn't shared).It was fun to see what weighed more. We compared to see how many coins for example, had an equal weight to one car. We went along with the theme of Yom kippur- teshuvah, and "fixed" the mistake (going along with the original ex.: said sorry and shared the car). Then we moved it to the Mitzvah side. Our good deeds definitely outweighed our mistakes!!!
