The smell of fresh baked challah is filling the air in the Teena class. The kids are excited and getting ready to welcome Shabbat together in a ceremony called the "Kiddush". Morah Naomi is arranging the candles, placing the beautifully braided challahs on a silver tray, and covering them carefully with a special white woven cloth.
Then they all sing a Shabbat song:
Bim bum, bim bim bim bum,
Shabbat shalom, hey!
Naomi is quietly lighting the candles. The kids are covering their eyes with their little hands and saying the prayers together.
They are enjoying a moment of togetherness and diving into an ancient tradition learning about the Jewish heritage.
Lastly, they enjoy the challah made fresh weekly by Morah Tamar.
Enjoy the pics and video from the Teena Shabbat ceremony!
