Judaism and Shabbat Class Assembly

Script for 15/20 minute shabbat class assembly. Follows a Jewish family from Friday afternoon until Saturday morning. Children learn that the important part of Shabbat is spending time with family and friends. Parts for 30 children. Songs to the tune of Sia’s cheap thrills and Frère Jacque. 30 speaking parts. (This can easily be cut down by reducing the number of narrators)
