We have been talking about what it means to have a “Shalom Bayit”, or a peaceful home. We talked about how our families are communities, and need to maintain balance just like our schools, temples and friend groups. We also read a book and learned about being a “bucket filler”. This means, when we have the opportunity to make someone feel good, we fill their “bucket”. This can mean helping them when they need it, giving them a compliment and working together when they feel alone.

When everyone has a full bucket, our home is peaceful. We have been working on making beautiful Hamsa’s to hang at home as a symbol of peace and protection
