Yiddish is incorporated into a text
that includes an explanation of
Havdala, "giving meaning to each of
the three items in terms of looking
forward to the whole week."
The wording includes such phras-
es as We rejoice in our heritage,
which has given us the cup of wine
as the symbol of our happiness" and
. . for the spices that teach us to
lo-kre our Earth, which gives us many
kinds of spices."
After reading the words aloud, the
participants end by wishing one
another "Gut vach" (good week) in
Yiddish and enjoy a potluck meal. 0

candle, wine and spices.
Initiated to try to reintroduce
meaningful ritual into their menl-
bets' lives, Shifrin says, "We felt it

no reference to prayer. We do not
say blessings, but have rituals.'
