Ganon Aleph and Ganon Bet children came to Yavneh with their parents on Saturday night for our annual Havdalah Pajama Party! As they arrived, they began sewing and stuffing the pillows they had decorated during the week with their Hebrew names on one side and the words to "Hamalach ha-goel oti" on the other. Morah Shani's husband, Yitz Norman, recited Havdalah for everyone after which they enjoyed snacks, including the s'mores which they made in school on Friday. They sang and danced to the keyboard music of Binyamin from BaRock Orchestra. Finally, they were treated to a slide show of photos from all of our Havdalah-related activities over the last few weeks. Each child went home with a Havdalah basket including the beautiful b'samim holders and Havdalah candles they made in school, a special cup, and the Havdalah brachot, as well as the cuddly pillows they made. What a fun way to say Shavua Tov and bring in a new week!
Neither snow nor rain.... Nothing was going to stop Havdalah Night of 2012 from taking place and being such a success! Yasher koach to the morot for doing an incredible job and to all of the parents who came out to participate:)
