Hi,
Today we begin a new topic: Blessing our children on Friday night.
A few reasons are offered for specifically blessing children at this time, including:
* Shabbat is a time of peace and happiness, when HaShem is most manifest on us, and therefore we are suited to Divine inspiration;
* Per Shabbat 119b, angels escort us to our home Friday night, and we want the angels to see us bless our children.
* We invoke the merit of Shabbat observance on behalf of our children.
Have a great day,
Mordechai
