K’tanim session we learned all about saying the
Shema before bedtime, and talked about our own family bedtime rituals. We wore our pajamas and decorated picture frames to keep the
Shema close to our beds, while our parents learned with Rabbi Lisa. We finished with a story-time with Teacher Alison, and a hula hoop dance party! For more ideas on Jewish bedtime rituals, click
