Ben Porat Yosef fifth grade girls enjoyed a melave malka on Motzei Shabbat, March 18. They learned about and performed the mitzvah of hafrashat challah, enjoyed delicious garlic knots and then took part in a memorable and moving candle ceremony. They heard and saw how precious the light is that is given off by a single candle and then experienced the power, beauty and illumination provided when many candles are lit together all at once. They discussed the wonderful qualities of each individual student and the effect of everyone working together as a team through this beautiful metaphor for life and the transformative power of unity.
