A Hug from Hashem!

Sukkos is almost here!

What a whirlwind of excitement with all the Holidays!

To gain an appreciation and excitement for Sukkos we talked about hugs!

What does it feel like to be hugged or to give one?

We took baby dolls and gave them big hugs. Even when we are not crying we just want a hug and love sometimes.

A Sukkah is a HUG from Hashem!

Menachem showing  us he can also hug his Torah.

Our friends helped create a Sukkah center in our classroom. Thanks to our banana tree in our garden we had gorgeous "schach" (cut branches from trees, which serve as the "roof")  to put on top!

 Menucha, welcoming guests into her sukkah.

We had a blast and showed team work getting everyone inside the cozy sukkah. 

We talked about the fact that everything we do in the sukkah, becomes a mitzvah! 

The play dough from our table came into the sukkah to turn it into a Mitzvah.

Menachem constructing a sukkah out of blocks and leaves from outdoors.

Menucha looking at all types of sukkahs at the play dough table.

Thank you to Dalya Dektor for donating a huge esrog to our Gan. Menachem trying to lift it and strengthening his muscles.
