Gardening and Shabbos

This week in the Purple room we continued learning about Shabbat, and preparing for our Shabbat dinner with the entire CJP family.
Our friends finished making their Shabbat boxes with beads and glitter, so we have a place to put our Shabbat candle, challah cover, kiddush cup and challah board.
To make our kiddush cups our friends first put beads on a wire and wrapped it around the glass cup, each friend picked different colors and patterns to make each kiddush cup unique.
To make our challah boards we first had to sand them down to make sure they where smooth and then paint them. Our friends used tape to spell out Shabbat in hebrew and paint over the tape, once it was dry we peeled the tape off to see the finished result. Making our challah covers was lots of fun, Morah D taped each challah cover to a book and gave all our friends fabric markers to draw everything they loved about Shabbat.
This week we had a very special Morah come to teach and show all our CJP friends how to garden and take good care of our new plants. Each day our friends went outside and watered each and every plant we planted outside and some new plants we were able to bring inside. They were so excited to see a new strawberry turning red. We can’t wait for the rest to grow!
