The Jewish Week
by Randi Sherman
More than a dozen children sat around the tables in the Society for the Advancement of Judaism’s social hall, braiding rainbow-tinted pipe cleaners into childproof havdalah candles and creating their own besamim, or spice bags, with choices of cloves, lavender and cinnamon. They came together on a Saturday night, Feb. 2, on the Upper West Side for SAJ’s first Havdalah Pajama party, an extension of their PJ Library chapter.
