What can this be? When Joseph and his father arrived at school this morning, the Keshet children were very curious about the LARGE foil-wrapped package they delivered to our classroom.
We soon learned that this was our Shabbat challah, made with love by Joseph and his sisters, with parental support! When the children gathered around the circle for our Shabbat blessings, Joseph gently placed his hand on it, and we all said HaMotzi together.
The children were in awe of this lovely challah, admiring its size and golden brown sheen. It was every bit as delicious as it was beautiful, and we devoured it with our grape juice. We are grateful to the Zolotar family and to all the Keshet families for providing challah for our Thursday Shabbat celebrations; we are learning some of the traditions, songs and blessings with which we celebrate the holiest day of the week.
so sweet! very nice family:school connection, having challah made by families. looks like the Keshet kids enjoy their Thursday Shabbat parties.
