One of my girls (in first grade at the time) won a raffle at the motzei Shabbat learning at her school. It was a two volume set, called “The Illustrated Mishnayoth Shabbath – Mishnayos Shabbos with The Commentary of R’ Ovadia M’Bartinura.”
A few weeks later as we’re eating on a Friday night, she brings the first volume over to me, saying, “Abba, read this to me, I won it, please read it to me.”
So, I opened it to the first mishna. As you probably know, it has to do with two men, one inside a house and the other outside, and they’re extending their hands into and out of the house, handing each other something on Shabbat. I’m trying to explain everything to this poor six year old kid, who is just looking at me. Finally she asks, “Abba, are you making this up?”
