Stacey and I at religious school last week. Former Girl Scouts/current Jewish educators unite!
The invention that has made bedtime rituals something to look forward to instead of something to dread. BOTH CHILDREN consistently ask to brush their teeth now, literally running to the bathroom. It's a lightsaber toothbrush that lights up!
And just cuz I thought it was funny. It's a strange cultural fact that lots of Jews go out to eat for Chinese on Christmas day because they're the only restaurants that are open. Our temple is actually having a "Chinese food and a movie" program on the 25th!
It is appropriate to take note of Miracles like these in Our Time on Hanukkah:
ReplyDeleteYou and Stacey, kidlet Girl Scouts in Long Beach, CA -- now educators: rabbi and teacher in the same Temple in Sacramento, CA. Who'da thunk???
The toothbrush miracle blows me away! What a treat to have the boys RUNNING to brush before bedtime! Hanukkah wonders never ceease.
And I'm sure that Chinese restaurant owners have a special Jewish blessing for Christmas which
they invoke during our celebration of Hanukkah!
Isn't it amazing from whence blessings pour down upon us??!!
Those Hanukkah glasses ROCK!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that sign is hilarious! Can I steal it and post to fb? :D
Savta, thank you! Miracles indeed! And Nicole, of course you can!
ReplyDelete1. I think the future of the Jewish people is in good hands.
ReplyDelete2. This toothbrush is the find of the century. How BRILLIANT that someone thought of it and invented it!!!
3. Just love, love, LOVE this one. Love that it's a commandment from God!
Love,
Mom
