This year we’re doing “The Shabbos House Table – where everyone is in their element!”
Our daughters researched elements that would be fit each person in our family, it made for nice science and great discussion, and they also made sure to have a color to go along with it (which narrowed down the choice of elements). They hand-made vibrantly colored tutu’s to match their colors and ordered our son a big gray onesie online.
