Two weeks ago, Connor was the star. The preschool director gave an adorable speech about how Rabbi Loving wasn't on the bima today because Rabbi is also a Mommy, so we wave "Bye, Rabbi!" and say, "Hello, Mommy!" So I sat with the kids like any other mom, and she and the Cantor led it all. It was lovely.
The Loving family, sans eldest boy (he's at another school, remember). Connor's attempt to "say cheese!" looked more like a pirate saying "aargh!"
Connor is getting his molars in, can you tell?
The Shabbat stars hold the Torahs during our "Torah service"!
Sitting at the snack table waiting for his plate, back in class.
I wonder what it takes to qualify to be the Shabbat Star. Obviously Connor earned it, and that's a big honor. A charming idea! Looks like the whole family enjoyed the experience.
ReplyDeleteIf by earning it meant "the class had a sign-up list and this was the random date I chose." That way everyone gets highlighted once or twice during the year, and the parents provide snack!
DeleteOy! I was mortified after I realized what I had written in my Comment. Connor is not even two years old yet!!!!! and I'm talking about "earning." It's a beautiful idea, and it works out to be a beautiful experience for the child and the family. Another sparkling facet of Shabbat.
