Another Wonderful Shabbat Dinner

Tonight, the weather was unexpectedly warm and lovely -- as was the company. We had Shabbat dinner with some our friends Wendy and John, who've recently moved to the Coast. Their son, Reed, is getting to be good friends with our boy Gabe. We shared a delicious dinner, and then the kids played happily while we finished a bottle of wine, nibbled on homemade cookies, and had a free-ranging, stimulating discussion about video games, holiday charity, yoga classes, math education, and healthy cooking.

  I grew up with Shabbat dinners - and I love the ritual of baking challah, cooking a warm meal, and having friends over for dinner on Friday night, It's great fun to share these old traditions with new friends.

Hi Amy,

It was nice to read your Shabbat dinner post. As an Israeli living in Melbourne, I rarely have the chance of enjoying this great tradition. It is something I look forward to when visiting my family in Israel.
I was also happy to find out about your company. I guess it’s pretty cool to have a game player mom.

All the best!
