you like that devorah oh great hey you know what devorah this harp reminds me of a very special king a king named david hamelech that's right david hamelech was a great jewish king and he played a neville too but in his day the neville was called a kinore it was a little bit different but king david played the neville or the kinora all the time you know that reminds me of a story i'd like to read for you how about you keep trying the harp and i'm gonna read a special story all about david hamelech and his very special harp today's big comfy story is called david hamelech and his harp because today we're talking about the harp as a musical instrument let's read together king david or david hamelech was one of the greatest kings of the jewish people you know there's even a song about him it goes david [Music] not only are there songs about him but he wrote songs of his own too those songs are called tahilam they are songs david wrote and sang for hashem in the tahillim david writes about all kinds of ways to sing and pray to hashem and many times david hamelech wrote about using musical instruments one of david's favorite instruments to play was a harp in david's day a harp was called a kinore there are many tehillim songs that have the word kinore in them and david would play his harp as he sang and prayed to hashem david would also use his harp to sing songs for hamelech who was the king before david whenever shawl hamelach would be feeling sad or angry he would ask david to play some music for him and the music would help king shaul relax and calm down do you ever do that listen to music when you're feeling sad or angry to help you calm down or maybe you just listen to music when you need to relax great let's continue the story later when david became the king someone would play the harp for him do you know who hashem that's right david hamelech wanted very badly to wake up every night at midnight so he could study torah however in his days there were no alarm clocks and the roosters didn't start crowing until sunrise so how did david wake up every night at exactly midnight well before he went to sleep david hameleck would place a harp next to an open window and at exactly midnight hashem made a special wind blow into david's window and that wind would play the harp the music would wake david up and he would get up and begin learning torah yes david was a great musician songwriter and torah learner oh that's true devorah rabbi b is also a musician songwriter and torah learner but i'm no david hamelech oh i think i hear a sound do you know who that might be i think it's kuggle the robot let's go take a look i knew it was kuggle the robot hello kuggle hello rabbi b how are you i'm doing great baruch hashem thank you let me guess do you have the question of the day today affirmative all right well let's play today's question of the day are there wow that's a great question i'm sure there's lots of musical instruments in the torah but i have a friend who can tell us for sure let's ask the torah torah torah hi great to see you torah we have a question for you are there any musical instruments in the torah sure there are lots of musical instruments in me when we came out of egypt miriam moshe's sister played a tambourine to celebrate their freedom that is called a tough miriam then at har sinai hashem blew a great big shofar there are even silver trumpets that were blown to tell the jewish people it was time to travel when they lived in the desert they were called khattostros and there were golden bells called pa'amuneem that were put on the bottom of the coin good old eighth rope wow that's a whole bunch of instruments thanks torah toda you're very welcome rabbi b fantastic rabbi b would you like to play a game i'd

devorah and me were talking about and i even went to the music store to go and see one kuggle is that a harp that is correct wow game over you got them all correct wow what a great game thank you coogle that was a lot of fun you are welcome you know what i think we should play some music together let's bring our musical instruments and let's play in the rabbi b musical band rabbi b what instrument will i play oh well you know what koogle i could make a musical instrument just for you i have a good craft idea kogo why don't you stay here and i'll meet you in the arts and crafts room and i'll teach you how you could make your very own musical instrument and then we're gonna play in the rabbi b musical band i'll see you there you know all this talk about musical instruments kogo really wants to play one two so i told him i'd make him a musical instrument and there's an easy craft that you could do at home and make your own musical instrument and because we're talking about harps today i thought it'd be fun to show you how to make your very own musical instrument harp you only need a couple of things let's see i think we're going to need some elastic bands we are going to need a marker we will also use some of these colorful popsicle sticks or you could just use some plain wooden ones and we're also going to need something to glue them all together for today's craft the best kind of glue to use would be some hot glue because it sticks very very well and it's very very strong but anytime you're using hot glue make sure a grown-up mommy a daddy and ima and abba or an older sibling help you to use the hot glue because it could be very hot and it could be very dangerous so make sure you have someone helping you the first thing we're going to be doing is making the shape of our heart i'd like to choose two colors to use i think i'm going to use two purples and two yellow popsicle sticks and what i'm going to do is create our shape of our popsicle stick two going sideways horizontally and two of them going vertically up and down i'm just going to position them just like that to make sure it's nice and straight then i'm going to take some of my glue this is a hot glue gun so always be careful and put a little bit of glue on that side there and get this one glued on kind of the spot that i'd like and do the same thing for this side put a little bit of hot glue and get the other side positioned as well there we go now i need to get the last the bottom part so i'm going to put some hot glue on there and on this side of the part of the stick and i'm going to glue other ends of our yellow popsicle stick to the bottom of our heart so there we go so now we have a nice heart shape see that pretty good all right the next thing we're going to be doing is making sure our hot glue gun is put aside that we don't by accident touch it the next thing we're going to do is we can decorate our harp what i like to do is add some fun little designs on the top sort of like a little s shape that way and a little s shape that way a little s shape that way and a little s shape that way just to make it look kind of fun and i have another thing that we could use i have some of these torah stickers now david king david did not write the torah of course not that was hashem together with moshe but i like to put some torah stickers on here just to make them extra nice and to make an extra design you can add your own kinds of stickers i just thought it would look kind of pretty and it sure does look at that lastly we're going to need our strings i have here four different colors but you could use any kind of color of elastic band we're going to put our elastic band over the top and over the bottom of the sideways of the horizontal sideways popsicle sticks one right there put another one on next to the first one push it down there we go next i think i'll do blue blue next to yellow always looks nice and lastly our purple one i mean our pink one can go there too yeah that's right and there we go our musical harp and you can play that harp now this is just a pretend craft musical instrument but if you listen carefully you could still hear some of the sounds of the elastic band strings there you go that is a very fun musical instrument harp that you could make with your own home materials but looking at it now it's a little bit small for kuggle i think kuggle is going to want to play something bigger i have a drum set i think kugo would like to play the drums we'll have devorah on the harp and rabbi b you guessed it i'll be playing the guitar all right we're ready for our musical band rabbidy has a band i'll see you at the music room see you soon well all right the rabbi b band is ready to play are you ready devorah all right
