Hanukkah blogget

Ms. Suzanne has a very quick, toddler friendly version of the Hanukkah story, accompanied by the children using an actual shamash to light their own candle. With real fire.  And it's a lesson in responsibility with flames that the children take very seriously.  You can see it in their faces - they are doing something that they probably haven't done before, and they are quite proud of their accomplishments. 

First, we had the story where we learned of Judah Maccabee and Hashem's miracle of making the oil last 8 nights. 





Next the children picked out their candle; there were so many color choices!



Finally, each child put their candle in the Menorah to light and then blow out the flame. 
















We made more Hanukkah cards with markers - one of our favorite mediums. 


Have a wonderful weekend. Shabbat Shalom!
