This is a story from Anafeam Kids. It's called When the Candles Are Lit.
Leah and Benny Adler aren't real people. We made them up. But Friday afternoon in their house might sound a lot like yours.
Friday afternoon in the Adler house was always loud.
The oven was on. The challah, the braided bread for Shabbat, was rising under a towel. Ima was chopping. Abba was vacuuming. Benny was supposed to be setting the table, but he was mostly setting forks on top of Latke the cat to see if she would notice. She noticed.
