See our beautiful Tallit





This is a photograph of the tallit created by the children in our four-year-old program. It is their gift to the school this year. Several weeks ago we invited parents and children to participate in a tallit-making workshop and this is the end result. We will begin to use it this Friday with a special shehecheyanu ceremony during this weeks' "Taste of Shabbat". Each week the children go under the tallit as the Shabbat parents say the "Blessing Over the Children". It is a beautiful sight and very meaningful to the parents. Every family receives a copy of the Shabbat Blessings folder (Behrman House). It is our hope that this may inpsire families to do something similiar at home.
