Clara and Emma have been in back in school, enjoying their last year of pre school for about 2.5 weeks. They go for almost 3 hours a day and have a blast. Turns out, they are learning quite a bit - as demonstrated in the last few days.
Emma suddenly started singing "Modeh Ani" a morning prayer, followed by the English version which she and Clara have shared in bits a pieces. They even know the Shema (another prayer) and the sentence after (lots of adults don't know it!). They enjoy singing together. And, they can be shofar. Sure, they can make the sounds- but the best is that they even know the name of the sounds "tekiyah..." Go figure Emma's fav is the long one, "tekiyah gdolah." They also have a cute song "apples, chopped and sliced, apples very nice."
They made cards and shofars in school (pictures coming soon).
Wishing all that celebrate a sweet, healthy and happy new year!
