Shabbat - Dramatic Play in Kitah Alef-Bet


I was lucky to be a guest at this impromptu shabbat Dinner. I tried my best to be quiet and listen to their dialog and follow their play.
Perly brought out the Shabbat candles, kiddush cup and challah. He placed the wooden block with the picture of his dad on the table. "I'm setting up shabbat" he said.
Bryna noticed and came to join. She reached for the candles. "dont touch the candles, they're hot" Perly reminded her. Cassidy noticed their play and brought a stuffed Torah to the Shabbat table. Ziva came to join too, she got the wooden grape juice bottle and poured everyone some kiddush.  Ziva told her friends  "We have to make a bracha and we have to sing all the songs before we can eat the food."
Bryna began to say the blessing "baruch atah ado-nai.." Then bryna noticed an empty spot at the table, "there's still one more spot for a baby" and she brought a baby to the table.
Cassidy announced "now it's time to eat challah" but Ziva said "not yet, we still didn't sing all the songs"
One more thing Ziva remembered had not been done yet, "we need to clean for shabbat" and she dusted the table and everything on it. Josie joined too and sprinkled some salt on the challah. Ziva lit the candles.

Shabbat Shalom!
