Chanuka is right around the corner!
This week we made delicious latkas!
Our friends were part of each process.

Continuing our Chanuka story by quite a site in the classroom, the Beis Hamikdash was a mess!
The King Antiyochus sent his Greek soldiers to desecrate the Holy Beis Hamikdash!
This was quite a shock for our friends since they have spent time at the center and knew how special each part really is!

"Who wants to be a brave Macabee and not feel discouraged but help clean it up?"
The whole class felt so excited to be empowered just like the real Macabees during the Chanuka story!

Finally we finished putting our Beis Hamikdash back together again but there was no oil!
Our friends searched everywhere!
After some time,Yocheved Sara checked under the Aron table and she found a tiny jug that was not touched by the Greeks!
Zalman, quickly used it to light the Menorah and we counted 8 days it miraculously lasted!

How is oil made?
Why did the Jewish people have to wait 8 days ?
We learned in a hands on way how long the process takes.
We crushed olives and of course tasted some!

We strained the olives with a cheese cloth and watched the oil slowly rise to the top!

How lucky we are to celebrate this miracle thousands of years later with our own Menorah!
Theo, working hard on his own unique Menorah to take home.
Working hard on our Chanuka costumes for our Chanuka party!
