Dec. 13, 2020: Exploring Hanukkah (Children's Chapel with Sarah Rosenthal)

 

We had a nice group in the Children's Chapel (virtual) today!  It's GREAT to have so many parents join, (and also FINE if you don't).  Thank you to Sarah Rosenthal for really helping us better understand the origin and traditions of Hanukkah. And the Trees of the Dancing Goats is a fabulous story!




Optional follow-up ideas: 

Play dreidel (see the instructions from the care packages).  You can use pennies, M & Ms, nuts, etc. as the currency!

LATKES--Try the recipe from the care packages, send me a pic!  Here's a fun song to get you dancing in the kitchen with the Maccabeats a capella group, called The Latke Recipe.  

MENORAHS--Keep adding a paper candle to those menorahs each night. I'd love a nice picture of any of those kids with their menorahs too!  They're beautiful!!!

Virtual visit--Click here to see all the ways you can connect with Beth Jacob synagogue for their live Hanukkah programming this week.  They very much welcome anyone to join them.  There's a Cooking Class today, at 3pm today (Sunday), and a Family Concert on Tuesday.

Next Sunday: We'll have a cozy Solstice gathering before our Multigen service at 10am  We invite the children to come having made a fort of some kind to Zoom in--blankets, cushions, under a table... let them take the lead with their creativity!
