After learning about Hashem's home and how special of a time it was for the Jewish people it was now time to learn the story of Chanuka.
The King Antiochus made 3 rules that he forbad the Jewish people to do.
We had helpers act it out. No more baby boy bris, no more Shabbos, no more Torah.
You can tell the look on their faces this did not feel so good.

Our big idea this week; what happens when there is opposition? How can we be like Macabees and be brave?
Ariella and Avigail saw the Greek soldiers messing up the holy Beis Hamikdash and they knew right away the response.
We need to be brave and clean it all up!

Baruch Hashem they found one little jug and after Ariella lit the Menorah we counted eight miraculous days it lasted for!
