1 SHABBAT AND HAVDALAH SEMINAR May 27, 2015, 1:00-6:00 Hebrew College The Early Childhood Institute The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world. The Shabbat- Abraham Joshua Heschel This day of learning is sponsored by: CJP Boston Haifa Connection & the JCC Early Learning Center of Greater Boston 1
2 SCHEDULE 12:30-1:00 Welcome Berenson Hall 1:00-2:00 1:15 Rabbi Danniel Lehman A Pluralistic Learning environment 1:30 Rachel Raz Uncover & Discover the Beauty of Shabbat and its Contribution to Civilization Shabbat & Havdalah exhibit Shabbat at Israeli preschools, the ritual of Challah making, Shabbat candlestick exhibit MAKING THE SABBATH HOLY KIDDUSH Rabbi Dr. Michael shire Room 101 OR :00-2:45 SESSION I The blessing for Kiddush is a beautifully constructed poem on the themes of Shabbat and the activation of holy time. We will look at the blessing and its language with a view to analyzing the themes of the Shabbat day as well as the special poetic style that is used to convey these themes. CHALLOT SHABBAT: THROUGH MIDRASH, PLAY, BAKING AND THE RITUAL OF HAFRASHAT CHALLAH." Abayniesh Yitzhak and Orna Avigad-Shapira Berenson Hall Challot Shabbat has a special place of the Shabbat table and helps us remember the exodus from Egypt and the miracle of the Manna. In this session participants will learn the midrash challot of miracle and explore ways to share it with young children. Likewise, the ritual of Hafrashat Challa (separating a portion of the dough before braiding, as a tithe) will be discussed and take place as part of the challa making. EXPLORING NEW RITUALS FOR SHABBAT Marion Gribetz Rooms :00-3:45 SESSION II How do contemporary Jews in Israel and the US create and find meaning in new rituals for Shabbat? We will study a variety of innovations happening in Israel and the US to explore how new rituals are created. We will look closely at alternative siddurim and celebrations of Shabbat and explore together ways we can innovate for ourselves and for the families we work with in our settings. 2
3 FAMILY ENGAGMENT: EXPANDING THE LEARNING TO THE HOME Ilana Kasso, Eti Applbaum, Lindsay Harvey & Marceline Marsan Rooms Connecting between the learning at school to the home is at the core of this session. Educators from Haifa and Boston will share best practices of meaningful family engagement. Ilana Kasso will share the Shabbat suitcase of orthodox schools in Haifa; Eti Applbaum will share the Shabbat suitcase of a secular Jewish school; and Lindsay Harvey and Marceline Marsan will share the Mitzvah box. TORAH STUDY FOR YOUNG CHILDREN Sharon Cores & Martha Deitsch Berenson Hall 4:00-4:45 SESSION II The weekly Torah portion or Parashat hashavua is often challenging for adults to read, understand, and apply to their own lives. It is even more of a challenge to explore this with young children. Sometimes there is only one word or passage that is easily shared with our children. At the Jewish Preschool of Lexington children gather together every Friday morning for a "Torah Story." With a large felt Torah and figures that have been created by Morah Martha and her Cricut electronic cutting machine, the people, places, and stories of the Torah come to life. Educators don't have to own a fancy machine to make this happen, however. Join this session to brainstorm about this week's Torah portion (Naso) and create a figure to start you off on your own Torah Story adventure. INTERACTIVE SHABBAT CELEBRATION AT THE PRESCHOOL Shlomit Katzav Rooms Based on the Israeli children book Anati s pocket (adapted from the book Olwen Twelve Pockets ) Shalomit developed an interactive curriculum for Shabbat. The children are engaged in the development of the program through games, songs, stories, and much more. 4:45-5:10 Light dinner, Berenson Hall 5:15-6:00 HAVDALAH: EXPLORING THE PLACES IN BETWEEN Dr. Nehemia Polen Berenson Hall Havdalah is a time of transition, of savoring the places in between, of memory and hope, of warmly glowing candles, fragrant spices, of song, spirit, dance, and radiance. Most of all, it is the moment to see each other with eyes of blessing and joy. We will explore the stories and traditions surrounding this time of taking leave of Shabbat and entering the week with confidence. 3

7 Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the presence of the Sabbath. "Observe" and "Remember the Sabbath day," the only God caused us to hear in a single utterance: the Lord is One, and his name is One to his renown and his glory and his praise. Come, etc. Come, let us go to meet the Sabbath, for it is a well-spring of blessing; from the beginning, from of old it was ordained, last in production, first in thought.
