Now that we've started week two, the Adamah class is already getting into our weekly traditions. The Etzim class joined us to celebrate Havdallah for the second week in a row. With new Havdallah helpers, Hayley and Jacob, we sang our niggun (a song without words) and chanted the blessings over the wine, spices and candle.
For some children, celebrating the end of Shabbat and the beginning of a new week is a new custom, and they're excited to learn and sing, and find out what Havdallah is all about. For others, they are proud to show us that they remember the music and blessings from last year, and even share that they have their own braided candles at home.
All of us spent some time thinking about what we're looking forward to in the week to come. Laura wrote our suggestions down, and we chanted them aloud together. Shavua Tov (Have a good week), Everyone!
