The See-You-Soon Spice Box — Pamela Ehrenberg

Silas and Great-Grandma Faye always end their video calls with See you soon! Great-Grandma Faye says that Havdalah, which separates Shabbat from the rest of the week, is like saying See you soon! to Shabbat. She shows Silas a spice box made by his great-grandpa, who used to say, Havdalah is the time between Shabbat and ordinary days, when we get to feel both kinds of magic at the same time. Great-Grandma Faye suggests she and Silas make Havdalah together over the internet until they can be together again. Silas makes his own spice box. When Great-Grandma Faye finally comes to visit, they say Havdalah with both spice boxes.
