How do we make Shabbat feel different and special? How do we prepare so we can take a break? We’ll explore these questions through Shabbat traditions like challah braiding and the Havdalah ritual.

Children in kindergarten through third grade and their adults are invited to use all their senses to engage with Jewish holidays and traditions in this joyful monthly series led by Rabbi Atara Cohen, Director of Jewish Life and Learning at the EDCJCC.
