YSZ is ready to greet the Shabbat Queen! What a special and moving assembly we had in honor of Rosh Chodesh Shvat. The program started off a skit, out on by our G.O. Girls on the topic of Hadlakat Neirot. Morah Kitiza Pahlaef explained the unique significance of Jewish women lighting Shabbat candles; it is an eit ratzon (auspicious time) for each of us to daven for any requests we may have and to connect to Hashem. At that time, the shchina of Hashem enters our very homes!
We then had a moving Lecha Dodi Kumzitz and Morah Chazan told a riveting story about a Jewish wine seller that refused to do business, just moments before Kabbalat Shabbat. We see the way that Hashem protects those who watch over Shabbat!
Two sixth-grade groups then presented graceful dances embodying the elegance of the Shabbat Kallah. All the classes enjoyed creating their very own plaque with the bracha of Hadlakat Neirot and the Yehi Ratzon. Thank you to our G.O. girls, Hadassah Akilov, Penina Maerov, Liora Rafailov, and Suri Haya Rubinov for adding to the Ruach of the school by giving out special treats on Friday, “Kallah ring pops,” in honor of the Shabbat Kallah!
