Chanuka unit #2
The Chanuka story started in the times of the Beis Hamikdash, Hashem's home!
In our classroom, an interactive Beis Hamikdash was a great way for our friends to experience the miraculous times.
Eli, dressing up as the Kohen who prepares to do his special work by washing his hands and feet by the Kiyor.
Looking around at all the shiny gold items in the Beis Hamikdash.
Levi, lighting the Menorah that took place everyday using pure oil.
The holiest place in the Beis Hamikdash is the Kodesh Kadoshim that only once a year the Kohen Gadol would enter in. Ayal, showed us what was inside the holy Aron- the precious luchos from Har Sinai!
Interactive lechem hapanim which was the 12 show breads .
After we experienced the holiness and beauty of the Beis Hamikdash, it was now time to introduce the unkind King Antiyochus.
He made three rules against the Jewish people.
Our big idea this week was how we are so brave just like the macabees and children still listened to Hashem even if there were rules against their religion.
1) He said no learning Torah! - Yosef proudly holding his Torah and telling the King he only listens to Hashem!

2) No Keeping Shabbos! -Yocheved holding tight to her shabbos candle

3) No bris for baby boys- Zalman snuggling and reassuring his baby he will have a Bris!

What would happen when the soldiers checked on the Jewish families? Ayal and Levi acting out hiding in the cave and taking out a dreidel when he came knocking on the door.

We had the honor of having a visit from the head of Tzivos Hashem! (A program that runs all over the world to encourage kids to bring Moshiach by being in Hashem's army and do good deeds)
