For me it might be confusing, with the sudden profusion of limbs.
But smart little Libby had no problem putting the shoe on the right foot.
Kids love the many mirrors at Jerusalem's Bloomfield Science Museum.

Bonus: Shoes and Jews --
According to the 16th century Code of Jewish law (the Shulchan Aruch), when putting on shoes, the right shoe goes on first. When tying shoes. the left shoe is tied first. When shoes are taken off, the left shoe comes off first. This custom is based on the belief that the right is more important than the left. Therefore, the right foot should not remain uncovered while the left is covered.
The Kabbalists describe the body as "the shoe of the soul." Just as shoes protect feet from the dirt, so too does the soul require the body as a shoe to protect it during its journey in the physical world.

This is very interesting although since Tiffany is left handed she would beg to differ.
ReplyDeleteKay, :) just for Tiffany, I will give you the part of the Chabad quotation that I left out:
ReplyDelete" Shoes should be tied from the left since knotted teffilin is worn on the left arm.
Since the tying of shoes is a reminder of the tying of teffilin, for those who are left handed, and who place the teffilin on their right arm, the right shoe should be tied first rather than the left, so that the tying of shoes matches the tying of teffilin."
What a cute little girl !
