Question
Is it permissible for a kindergarten teacher working with children who do not observe Torah and mitzvot to distribute sweets to the children in honor of Shabbat, knowing that they will not bless?
Answer
It is preferable to distribute toys rather than food. However, she can distribute and tell the children to listen, and she herself will take something and bless it, thereby fulfilling the children's obligation if they eat immediately.
