Scene 19 - Egyptians Drowning
News Reporter: Jonathan Werner
Pharaoh changed his mind again.
Pharaoh harnessed his chariot & chased the JEWS until he saw the JEWS crossing the red sea.
Then Pharaoh thought to himself if the JEWS can cross the sea then we can too. Then Pharaoh charged & the Egyptians went in. Then HASHEM drowned the Egyptians that was the story of the drowning of the Egyptians.
Scene 18 - Exodus and Splitting of the Sea
News Reporter: Jonathan Werner
The JEWS are happy to be leaving Egypt with MOSES & AARON & into the desert but for how long they did not know. They were so surprised when the sea split & they crossed on dry land. While leaving Egypt & crossing the red sea they also wondered if the Egyptians were following them.
Scene 17 - Pharaoh in Pajamas
News Reporter: Mendel Gourarie
Pharaoh was very scared that he would die because he was a first born son. He ran out of his palace in his pajamas to look for Moshe. He told Moshe to take all the Jews out of Egypt right away. Moshe said that they will not leave in the middle of the night, but they will leave in the middle of the day in front of all the Egyptians!
Scene 16 - Plague of the Firstborn
News Reporter: Jonathan Werner
G-D has killed the first born so the Egyptians would let the JEWS go with MOSES out of Egypt into the desert then MOSES & ARON they went to Pharaoh palace & MOSES said with A stutter I ask again let my people go yes go please & take your animals & your food please go away with you then the JEWS went out of Egypt & that was the last plague THE END
Scene 14 - Jews puting blood of Passover lamb on their doorposts.
The JEWS are painting lambs blood on there doorposts & on the lintel so the angel of death will passover their homes. The Egyptian homes that do not have blood on their doorposts & lintel will be visited by the angel of death & all first born sons will die . THE END
Scene 13 - Darkness
News Reporter: Chaya Mushka Gourarie
During the plague of darkness the Egyptians did not see for three days. The next three days they could not even move because the darkness was so thick. The Jews went and saw all the Egyptians' gold, silver and money. When it was time to leave, they asked their neighbors to give them the gold, silver and money that they saw during this plague.
Scene 12 - Locust (grasshoppers)
Scene 10 - Boils
TODAY IN EGYPT
Repoter: Evan Chester
Brick,NJ-Pharoh has changed his mind yet again on whether or not the Jews can leave Egypt, which means sorrow for all of us, the egyptians. As Moses said, another plague has erupted on us, as you probably already know. This one is more painful than the rest, boils. Hopefully, Pharoh will come to his senses and release the Jews.

Scene 8 - Wild Animals
News Reporter: Jonathan Werner
The 4th plague is about to be unleashed on the Egyptians. Pharaoh wanted the JEWS to serve HASHEM in Egypt. MOSES said they had to leave the land because they were offering the Egyptian diety to HASHEM!
G-D has freed the wild animals so the Egyptians would let the JEWS go with MOSES to serve HASHEM.
Scene 7 - Lice
News Reporter: Sara Werner
Aaron hit the ground and the dust became lice. The lice went on the Egyptians and the animals. The Egyptian sorcerers tried to make lice but they couldn't.
Scene 5 - Blood
News Reporter: Rachel Dispoto
G-d told Moses to tell the Pharoh to let all the Jewish people free or G-d will turn all the water to blood. If a Jew and an Egyptian were drinking from the same cup, the Jew drank water while for the Egyptian it turned to blood. The only way the Egyptians were able to get water was if they bought it from a Jew.
Scene 4 - Moshe at the burning bush
Today I saw an amazing sight! A burning bush with no damage to its leaves or branches! G-d's voice was heard through the bush and G-d commanded Moshe to take the Jews out of Egypt and end all their suffering. Moshe went to Pharoh and said "Let my people go!" but Pharoh said, "No! Work the Jews harder!"
Scene 3 - Moshe is found by Batya in the Nile River.
One day, Pharaoh decided to throw all of the baby boys in the Nile River. Moshe's mom put Moshe in a basket in the river. Pharaoh's daughter then found Moshe. She took care of him. He had survived the dangerous river! Since he survived the Jews were saved! If he hadn't survived or been found the Jews wouldn't be free.
He is know known everywhere and all the Jews are very thankful. Moshe became part of history. I'm very proud. Moshe was G-d's messenger in bringing about the plagues, but that's another story.
Scene 2 - Stargazer and Pharoh
Last night, Pharaoh had his stargazer look outside into the sky for him. When the stargazer looked out, he reported to have seen a picture of a Jewish baby boy in the sky. The stargazer said that one day, this baby boy was going to put an end to Pharaoh. Pharaoh, frightened by the thought of this, decreed that all newborn Jewish baby boys were to be thrown into the Nile River to drown.
Scene 1 - Slavery
TODAY IN EGYPT
THE JEWS GET TO WORK
News Reporter : Evan Chester
Yesterday the Jews were set to a new task because of a brilliant order that Pharaoh decreed.
All of those who live in Egypt and are Jews are hereby decreed to work endlessly building buildings as servants of Pharaoh. This was the breakout idea of keeping Jews away from rebelling.
