Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we began a unit on Chanukah. We started by reviewing the details of the story of Chanukah. You should be proud that your children knew a lot of the basics. But we all benefited from putting the story into a modern context while discussing the authentic historical story of the destruction of the Holy Temple. We envisioned what it would be like if, G-d forbid, someone destroyed our Holy synagogue! Then we learned the song Hanarot Halalu and studied the text of this beautiful Chanukah song together, chevrutah style (in pairs).
Best,
Morah Hollenberg
