Are you familiar with YouTube sensation Ms. Sara? She's like the Jewish Ms. Rachel, and she's a MUST SEE!!!

Pajama Havdalah with Sing It! with Ms. Sara!
Saturday, January 25th- 6:15pm ET
Register here: https://hgf-org.zoom.us/.../register/mydrqSieQze9iMhIldivXA

If you enjoy looking for stars in the sky, inhaling the sweet fragrance of spices, and watching flames dance, then do we have a program for you!

Join PJ Library and YouTube sensation, Sing It! with Ms. Sara, as we celebrate Havdalah and welcome the new week together, all while wearing our favorite pajamas.

Havdalah, or “separation” in Hebrew, is Shabbat’s closing ritual, when three stars appear on Saturday evening. In a simple multi-sensory ceremony, with blessings over lights, wine or grape juice, and spices, Havdalah is an inspiring way to end Shabbat and start the new week as a family.

You're welcome to watch the event or partake in it yourself! If you'd like to participate, you will need:
1. A multi-wick candle (holding a few Hanukkah candles together will work well!)
2. A cup of wine or grape juice
3. Pleasant-smelling spices (just grab anything from your spice cabinet!)
