Our Very First Shabbos Party

This past Friday, we had a fantastic Shabbos Party with our Shabbos Ima, Mariella and Shabbos Abba, Arik. We started off by 'making Challah'- kneading the dough, braiding it, and putting it in the oven. Afterwards we came to our Shabbos Table and made a whole Shabbos meal Menu. The children then got to color and decorate the Shabbos table with flowers and place settings. We made sure to put a Kiddush cup, grape juice, candles, and two challahs on the table. We got ready for Shabbos by washing ourselves and acting as if we were getting dressed into our best Shabbos clothes. We then gathered around the table and the girls lit the Shabbos candles and said the blessing. The boys responded Amen. We sang some Shabbos songs while the boys went to Shul. Our Shabbos Abba then made kiddush and all the rest of the Yeladim followed. Lastly we got our special Shabbos treat-sandwich cookies. We are looking forward to next Friday for another Shabbos party.
