Today we had the best time shopping at Home Depot, Target, Pandora, and Starbucks.
Yup, these popular stores were part of our Ckids Mall experience where our students got to shop for Mitzvah items that help us do mitzvot and live as proud and strong Jews wherever we go!
We started our day by continuing our Israel Quest journey, this time exploring the famous and fascinating story of Daniel the prophet. We learned about the tragic destruction of the Beit Hamikdash (the Holy Temple) and the subsequent
forced exile of the Jews to Babylon. This time period was a very difficult one for the Jewish people, having been exiled from their holy land and living in a place that threatened their Jewish identity.
The young Daniel, one of the exiled Jews, stood out as a hero and model, remaining a proud and strong Jew committed to Hashem and the Torah even while living in the Babylonian king’s palace.
We discussed how we too can be just like Daniel, living as proud Jews committed to a life of Torah and mitzvot, even when being Jewish means being different from everyone around us.
That’s how we ended up at our Ckids mall, having an awesome time “shopping Jewish” and being proud Jews no matter where we go!
We hope you enjoy all the adorable goods our students picked up at the mall.
They will all come to good use in helping us live as proud and strong Jews!
