Shabbat Shalom

One of the things I fondly remember from my childhood is Hebrew School (especially since I recently reconnected with a Hebrew School friend on Facebook).
We'd love Garrett to have the same experiences but joining a temple right now has been cost prohibitive.  He's also a little young for services.
I decided to do something I haven't done in many years, lighting candles on Friday night and saying the blessings.

For now it's something small but as he gets older he'll learn more about his Jewish heritage. Plus I admit that I missed the glow of the candles every Friday night.

Garrett really enjoyed the challah
