Alla Umanskiy

If my kids remember anything about their childhood once they’re grown, I hope they remember the pizza. In our family, Friday night is pizza night — and it’s our non-traditional version of… Shabbat dinner.

I came home and found out that my three wise offspring had convinced our nanny that they didn’t need… to set the table for Shabbat. Why?
