Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year when we get an opportunity to fix our mistakes. We apologize for what we did wrong and try to fix it and start a new year with a clean slate.
This week we talked about what we can do when we make mistakes. Our 'big idea' was, we are really sweet and do sweet things, but sometimes we make mistakes, that's okay, as long as we try to fix it!
We used puppets to role play different "uh oh's" scenarios and what they did to fix it.
A fun song helped us work out mistakes through out the day.
tune: where is thumkin
"Oops I'm sorry, Oops I'm sorry
what did I do? what did I do?
I didn't mean to hurt you
I want to make it better
I made a mistake, I'll fix my mistake"
Batya and Adelle acting out how two friends made a mistake and fixed it by saying I'm sorry and giving each other a hug.
Role playing brings out some giggles.
Chana Rochel wanted all the marbles which made Arik feel sad. After singing the "uh oh song" she fixed it and shared her marbles!
Yom kippur and the color white
On Yom Kippur some have the custom to wear white. Some men wear Kittels (white garment) to shul. White reminds of us the heavenly angels that we try to be like on the holiest day of the year.
Painting on black paper gives the white paint more of a 'pop'. While painting we looked at some Yom Kippur pictures of people wearing white.
'White dough' made out of baking soda and conditioner. It was fun to see the children's reactions when they felt the dough since it had a very different consistency than play dough.
Emma enjoying white cornstarch and water mixture.
White chalk art. We placed some on the floor as well as our easel to give a different preference.
Arik found white in his yogurt! Chanie showed her friends white popcorn!
Fridays- our preparation for Shabbos.
Shabbos Ima (mother) and Abba (father)
Shabbos Party is one of the highlights of our week. What a gift Hashem gave us, to shut down and rest from all the business of the week and focus on family.
Every week at our Shabbos party, a Shabbos "Ima" (mother) lights the Shabbos candles and a Shabbos "Abba" (father) makes the Kiddush.

Creative minds at work!
Esther decided to make her Kiddush cup by tracing it!
Shalom used his crayon as the candle :)!
