Beth David’s PJ Shabbat fun? Well, attending in a
favorite pair of pajamas,
and Little Smiles of course! At least that’s
what Temple Beth
What could possibly make being at Friday evening Shabbat David’s toddlers, tots,
services more comfortable and welcoming, warmer and more and many of their parents
thought, as families
showed up together to
support and enjoy each
other, cozy and comfy at
Beth David’s most recent
PJ Shabbat.
Several times each
year, Temple Beth David
hosts a special family PJ
Shabbat. Its sanctuary is
filled with song, prayer, and laughter as the congregation’s
spiritual leader, Cantor Danielle Bensimhon, along with Pre-
School Director Jenny Fenton, lead the children in harmony,
dance, and play. Exuberant sing-alongs were followed by

story time, and the group settled in to listen intently.The
crowd then helped Cantor Danielle, with the use of stuffed
toys, “light” the Shabbat candles and chant the blessings over
wine and bread.
This fun-filled evening culminated in a festive,
complimentary pasta dinner provided for the children,
parents, and congregants in attendance, and then followed
by Beth David’s customary Kabbalat Shabbat service.
This most recent PJ Shabbat kicked off a two-week
drive by Temple Beth David to collect pajamas in all sizes
for Little Smiles, a non-profit organization in Palm Beach
Gardens that works with social workers, firefighters, nurses,
and other first-responders to provide much-needed clothing
and toys to children who must spend time in hospitals or who
are in temporary homes. Little Smiles does indeed literally
bring smiles and happiness to children who “simply want the
chance to be kids.”
Warmth and fun, stories and play, prayer and blessings,
Your best choice for orthopaedic nourishment for the body as well as the spirit — this was
truly a Temple Beth David night!
