Shabbat and Laughter in KDH

KDH discussed last week's Parshat Beraishit. Hashem created the world in six days and rested on the 7th. We celebrate Shabbat commemorating Hashem's work and rest. This Friday night IJP will have a shabbat meal together. We asked the class what they felt was most important and what we could contribute to this event. "Let's make challah!" they cried. "What else?"  "Challah covers!" was the immediate response.

KDH braided and knotted and made rolls for everyone!

On to Challah covers..... Stenciling, stamping, choosing colors, painting.......

Each child planned and designed their own challah cover. And now for the humor... I handed Adaya the kiddush cup stamp and showed her where the top of the cup was. Adaya placed the stamp on its side on the bottom of the cloth. I asked Adaya, "Did you want it like this?" "Yes," she smiled at me. "Why?,"
Adaya smiled again and answered, "Well that's what it is like at our house!"

This morning when Adaya came in, I asked her if she wanted her Abba to take it home. I handed the Challah cover to him and said, "Look at this and notice the fantastic sense of humor that Adaya has." He looked at it and noticed the kiddush cup on its side. Immediately, Mr. Malka responded, "Well, that's what it's like at our house!  Lots of spills....."

......and lots of good cheer.         Shabbat Shalom!
