Aleph Lesson 4/7
Hi Aleph Friends,
Shabbat is special to me because it gives my family a chance to breathe and come together to talk, catch up and share a delicious meal. Today I will be reading the book The Shabbat Box. Below you will see all the Shabbat prayers, a recipe for challah (for after Passover) and instructions on making your own Shabbat box. Have fun and be creative! Please send pictures of your box to morahlaurier@gmail.com.
Happy Passover! XO
