Shabbat Shalom

Shabbat is a very special part of our Jewish family's weekly events. We usually light the shabbat candles, say some blessings, and eat challah. This past week we made sure to go through the iPod and pick out several holiday songs to sing around the table. The added music made our holiday extra special. While this is not in line with orthodox practice, we have adapted shabbat in a way that works for our family--in a way that is meaningful for us. Dalia loves shabbat and we love celebrating it with her. We hope that our traditions make an indelible impact on her childhood memories.
