I do not think it means...

Barak's preschool does what a lot of Jewish preschools do. They have a Shabbat Bear that kids get a chance to bring home and celebrate Shabbat with. Then you take some pictures, type up a little story about what the bear did with you, and it gets added to the book

Oh facepalm, heh.

Maybe they're remembering the old Scooby-Dooby-Do line from the cartoons?

I dunno, but, um, it says Dubi on the cover of the binder. Now, it's possible that Barak's teacher has added that cover recently in response to "Dooby" but I don't think so.

the Shabbat Bear in Barak's class (the same one Yael was in four years ago) is named Dubi Dov Bear. Which means his name is Bear Bear Bear

I love this.

Good luck with the Thanksgivingukkah dinner. What's the menu?

[marag]

I love Barak's teacher :)

And the menu is turkey, stuffing, sweet potato latkes, roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower, cucumber salad, one or two more vegetables to be determined later, pumpkin pie, and sufganyot (Israeli jelly doughnuts).

Avi's also thinking about trying spaghetti squash latkes, but I don't know if we'll have time to experiment for that.

Sweet potato latkes!

My grocery store had store-made potato latkes last week, with applesauce and sour cream. Yum. They do the cooking so I don't have to.

I have an envelope of jewish kid books that I will be sending to you. Hopefully your preschool or shul can use the ones you don't want....
