Today, my teacher was very late to school because of a traffic jam. So, another teacher came to our classroom to be with us for tefilah. The substitute teacher was really nice and she brought the whole class krembo (a popular Israeli treat). She gave us krembo because today in the amidah (the silent prayer) we add a phrase about winter (תן טל ומטר לברכה), and krembo is like winter ice cream.
For those who don’t know what krembo is, it is marshmallow fluff piled on top of a cookie, and the whole thing is covered in chocolate. It tasted yummy, but has a little too much marshmallow fluff for my liking.
All teaching of tefilah should be accompanied by sweet treats!

P.S. krembo would be improved with adding more chocolate
P.P.S. I don’t have a photo because of some technical difficulties
