When I look at this picture, I see kids from places all around the world coming together to celebrate Shabbat. This is probably the frist Shabbat for many of these children.

Hi this is Reghan and Jenna, We think that this picture shows that no matter who you are every Jew can come together and celebrate Shabbat.

Kianna said...

Hey! This is Kianna and Lindsay! We think this picture is really cute because it shows that kids are happy to celebrate Shabbat. An Etheopian boy is helping lead and its probably his first time celebrating Shabbat. The little girl, who is saying a prayer, is from America. So the two children leading together indicates the unity of israelis, americans, and etheopians. We think it shows us that on Shabbat, everyone comes together and is happy.

I think this shows how the sorrow and hatred in this person's land was overseen. It shows how she learned to overcome her fears and difficulties, and simply celebrate shabbat. This requires courage and confidence. Those are two very important qualities in life.

I think this picture is very powerful and shows how Jews of all nationalities come together with the common love of Judaism. Children are the future of Judaism and here you see them getting their first expierences with Shabbat in Israel.

This picture means alot. These kids are young and dont see the boundries that seperate them.I think this picture says a lot about Israel and what it stands for. You have both an American girl and an Ethopian boy. i think this picture shows the diversity of Israel and how they are willing to except everyone. also this picture means much to me. They arnt woried about anything, they are just excited about starting a new life in Israel. They are pretending to be adults, and hopefully when they are adults they'll be as colorblind as they are now.

This is Kayley.
In this picture, I see two children celebrating Shabbat, and learning how to keep it. The little girl seems to b farmiliar with Kabbalat Shabbat. The boy seems to be "unaquainted" with the service and is looking at the girl to gather information. I think these two kids are also bonding, because I believe people bond through prayer.

I think this picture shows a lot about the Jewish community in Israel. Everybody comes from different places but they all are together for Shabbat. This is probably their first Shabbat maybe ever and they get to spend it with children from all over the world.

This also shows how different races can come together despite their differences and have a good Shabbat dinner. FROM ADAM< MAX AND DANIEL

Shelby Gadol said...

Hey, this is Shelby and Kolbey. This picture shows the way that people of different races are brought together by the celebration of Shabbat.They visualize eachother as equal people and believe in God.

Arielle Iola said...

I think that this picture shows how both American and Ethiopian people can come together and celebrate shabbat. We are still connected by the Jewish thread in our live.

Grace said...

This picture is significant because it shows how Judiasim brings different cultures together.

KellyHerson said...

Lital, I think I am your partner. Maybe Liat is too? Okay this picture is pretty incredible. The fact that an American girl and and Ethipian boy can pray together is amazing. It shows unity and diversity.

jeffdiamond1994 said...

This is a very symbolic picture. It shows how people,no matter how different they are, can still get along together. It is very symbolic because of the setting of Shabbat. I think Shabbat can show the peace between people and races which is showed by the two different colored children.

Yoni Gershon said...

This picture is a prominent symbol of overruling racial integration. It brings ectstasy to my heart. It is wonderful that all Jews can celebrate together.

Justin said...

By the color of the boy's skin, he is obviously Ethiopian. It shows that no matter where you are from, you can still celebrate Shabbat, and it shows that no matter who you are, you can still come together with everyone else.

LindsayGerard said...

Hey I already commented on this with Kianna, but if your name is Liat Katzir vist my profile and comment on my blog so we can talk! haha :D

Max Schnitzer said...

I think it's cool that kids of different races can live in peace together.

Ben Ray said...

I think this post really shows all the diffrent people in Israel and no matter how diffrent you are you still have the same beliefs

yosefpresburger1994 said...

Shalom,
I think this is a very good picture. It shows a boy and a girl that come from different places and are different come together to celebrate Shabbat. I think one of the goals of Shabbat is to bring everyone together like a family. This picture also shows how in Israel everyone is equal and have the right to do the same things.

Liz Livingston said...

In this picture there are many children most likely from Ethiopia and other countries and they are celebrating shabbat. I find it good that they can do all of this at such a young age and all together. It is nice.

Becca Spigel said...

this sybolizes all of the cultures of Israel coming together!

ofir iskovitz said...

in this picture we see two diffrent kids, one black and one white who do kablat shabat. kabalt shabat is a very important jewish custom for the Jews.

tami said...

I see in this picture one girl and one boy doing "kabalat shabat"(Shabat Reception).We can see the boy who looks African and the girls have lighter skin colour,and i think it shows the friendship between two cultures.

Shani Bachar said...

In the picture I can see 2 children.
They are lighting Shabbat candles.
They are Ethiopian.
I think that it symbolizes that in Israel there are many cultures, but they are all living in the Jewish land and doing the Jewish custom's.

Hey evreyone

Moreover, it shows the diffrence between jews who arrived from various contries. Eventually Israel is a conutry ,which contain jewish from all over the world.

Liora=] said...

In the picture there are two little kids in a kindergarden-doing a Kiddush, an American girl and an Ethopian boy.
(It kind of reminding me my kindergarden...=])
I think the picture shows all the different people in Israel that the religon gathers tham together
and creates one culture and one nation.

Mor said...

Hey I see in this picture 2 little children that are praying to God.
They use jewish customs.
I see the different skin color between the children but they can still be friends and use the same customs together.

Hello Everyone,

I want to say that I agree with Lilly Stafford.
Like she said- This picture showas the diversity of Israel and how they are willing to except everyone.
You can see a boy and a girl from different culture (American girl and an Ethopian boy) that are doing together a Kiddush and they seems so happy to do it.
Also, You can see that they don't care that they are so different from each other.

Anonymous said...

Dear Nahum,
I think you are right. I think this shows how they got past the hatred, and just prayed. It shows their courage and srength.

Justin said...

Roman,

I agree with you. It does show what Israel stands for, because anybody is allowed to have a Shabbat dinner if they want to.

LiatKazir said...

I think that picture show the common thing that all of us as Jews have: the love for our religion and our customs, if we are Russian, Ethiopian or another ethnic origin. I can tell that I as a child had a lot of Kablat Sabbath ceremonies in my nursery school, and those left me sweet memories of a Jewish childhood.
Lindsay Gerard, I am your partner 
I think like you that this is a very sweet picture. I agree with you that we can see that the Sabbath connecting people together.

Liat.

Hi everyone,
in the picture i see two kids in the kindergarten and they are doing "kabalat shabat".
I think this picture tell a lot about israel, this two kids come from different country's and background's but that's not a problem for them.Israel is a place where you can find pepole that come from different cultures, and the thing that connect them is the Judaism .

Shimon said...

This picture tells alot.
We can see here that there isn't difference between the Ethopian guy to the American girl.
By the way i can see all those children getting Shabat.

AviTaL said...

Hello there,
In the picture I see kids from completely different cultures celebrate shabat together.
It's pretty nice because it is so true, the difference between people around the world doesn't mean we can't celebrate together.
