Maya and I made challah this morning in her Gan. The kids shape it every week, but since we walked her to school, we stayed a bit and helped with the braiding. Before I knew it, her teachers were coming over for lessons in how to braid with 4 ropes of dough! Soon all the kids were braiding their challah a new way and all the teachers were excited!
By Friday afternoon, all Shabbat preparations had been made and three families were ready for a short "dip" in the Kinneret, the Sea of Galilee, that is just at the base of the Golan Heights. As we approached the beach, we saw a most colorful sight above the water: The sky was filled with enormous, beautiful kites pulling "kite surfers" across the water. Both the kites and the surfers were graceful and exciting. Daniyel and Maya were thrilled by them.
The water was a refreshing break and a nice prologue to Shabbat. Shabbat Shalom!
