December 29, 2019 ~ Chanukah

Many thanks to Abby Colihan and Steve Grunewald for leading an exploration of Hanukkah last Sunday which was also the last day of Chanukah.  They read a neat book about Hanukkah, listened to a song: Chanukah, Oh Chanukah (with lyrics in English and Yiddish), played the dreidel game, and made menorah art.  

The kids and volunteers were having so much fun there was no time for pictures.  But here are some photos from afterward.  The book they read, the art they made.

Above: Every family and synagogue have different styles of menorahs.  Alex made this fabulous, spider-like menorah!  (notice he included the 'shamash' or helper candle in the middle of the eight)

 Above: Elena made this collage menorah out of origami paper!

Above: Graham did a combination of coloring and cut-out for this bright and cheerful menorah!
