What are we thankful for in 3 D

Shabbat is here. We celebrate in community always mindful of what we have to be thankful for. On this Friday we heard children express gratitude for "God, trees , daisies, toys-submarines-cars, snowmen, basketball, summer, birthdays, juice, snakes, lions, Shabbat, Ninjas, sushi, family , and sisters. We decided to provide children with the opportunity to express their ideas using clay. It was beautiful to witness the dedication to details and how the clay was transformed as their ideas emerged . Here are just a few examples . Eli said he was thankful for Shabbat. He stared his journey of expression with those concrete items we see, candles, challah, and kiddush cup. As he was forming the candle holders he stood and looked and then said that God lived in his candle. He then proceeded to represent his image .
