The past two weeks in Hebrew School we have been getting ourselves ready for Chanukah!
We learned all about the history of Chanukah, how the Greeks tried to force us to drop the spirituality and meaning of our beliefs and just do what we felt like, and how the Maccabees saved the day!
We disused how we too can stay proud to be who we are, even when it means not following the trends of others. As I say, "if you were meant to stand out, why are you trying to fit in?"
We prepared two special crafts for Chanukah.
1) A Message Menorah
Inside each glass bottle is a message for you and your family. Each night that you light a candle, share the message and do what it says. You can use the glass jars as candle holders but please wrap the bottom of the candle in tin-foil first just in case the glass breaks from the heat.
2) A Framed Blessing Guide
Please use these guides when lighting the Menorah. For the first night we say all three blessings, for the rest of the nights we only say two!
Have a very happy Chanukah,
Rabbi B
