Celebrating Shabbat in Kindergarten

It is amazing to watch the amount that is accomplished in only three hours of kindergarten. The children arrive full of excitement for Shabbat and join Emily in the sanctuary for their own weekly service. This week they got up close to the ark to see the Torah and led Emily in Mah Yafeh HaYom from the bima. The celebration continued with challah baking, candle lighting and a Shabbat story and snack. And that was just the first hour! I look forward to seeing how the kindergarten Shabbat rituals develop over the course of the year.
