In the first minute of this short and sweet home video in Hebrew, watch a little girl named Shiri recite the blessing over the Shabbat candles in preschool. In many Israeli preschool classrooms, this activity is the highlight of the week, when the children take turns being the «Shabbat Mother and Father,» reciting the blessings over the candles, wine and challah, singing Shabbat songs, and eating special treats.
