A Shabbat Workshop

Our Junior Kindergarten worked hard on Shabbat Boxes at home with their parents and then brought them to school for a PJ Library workshop.

The project was based on The Shabbat Box, a book by Lesley Simpson, and the book was read during the workshop. The students, with their parents, created kiddush cups, candle holders, and a challah cover. A Shabbat celebration followed with challah, kiddush, music, and singing!

Book Synopsis: When Ira loses his class’s precious Shabbat Box in a snowstorm, he learns valuable lessons about honesty, trust, and eventual good outcomes.
