MY FIRST NOT SO JEWISH SABBATH CELEBRATION

Hello every, thank you for checking out my blog today. I am so excited to be writing today.

Hope you and your family are well? It is summer and June is almost done. I am wishing you all the best the rest of the month and beyond has to offer.

In today's blog; I want to share my experience at my first Sabbath Celebration, a few weeks back. 

Prior to attending the Sabbath celebration, I was under the impression that I was going to a Jewish party and we were going to sing Jewish songs, dance to Jewish music and eat Jewish foods. Because I was so excited for the new experience, I spent a few days telling the kids about it and what to expect. While the kids and I were looking forward to a Jewish celebration, our actual experience was nothing Jewish but we still had a great time.

My friend Kesha goes to a church where they have home meetups at certain times in each month and they call it Sabbath Celebration. When she invited us to her home for the Sabbath Celebration, I totally assumed it had something to do with Jewish tradition. When we went, though it wasn't at all what the kids and I had expected, we still had a blast at our not-so-Jewish Sabbath Celebration. Though there were no Jewish foods in sight, my friend made the best Mexican food we could have hoped for. She even made sure there was peanut butter jelly sandwich for Le'Veon. Kesha is a great host and we definitely had a blast. Kesha introduced us to her brother and friends. I'm glad to say we made some new friends on our not-so Jewish Sabbath Celebration.

I enjoy making new friends and eating at their homes. Food is such a great part of my life and I enjoy trying foods from different cultures. I promised Kesha that on her next Sabbath Celebration, I would bring some Jewish foods. She actually invited us this past week but we couldn't make it because we had made other plans. But I still stand by my word that on our next Sabbath Celebration with Kesha and her family, I will bring some Jewish food so we can have somewhat Jewish Sabbath experience.

Here's the link to the video of our experience;

These queens will change the world!

Thank you for reading.

Have a great day!
