Our Kitah Dalet students have been talking about the miracle of Hanukkah and how the story of Hanukkah has relevance to us even today. We talked about being proud of who we are, standing up for what we believe in, and most importantly, doing what we think is the right thing to do, even if everyone else is doing something different. Our students had a lively discussion about hijacking a classroom discussion and how misbehaving is a form of bullying our classmates. We talked about taking responsibility for actions and caring about others when working in a group. Our students made beautiful Hanukkiot in class and we hope you enjoy lighting them with your family. The lights of the Hanukkiah are meant to bring light to your world and we encourage you to spend the thirty minutes together singing and talking as the candles burn low.
Thanks to all of the families who participated in our Simchat Limud on Sunday morning. I hope we shared a taste of how we learn together, and the importance we place on making your children think about being Jewish everyday in every way. Enjoy the winter break, and thank you for your kind and generous Hanukkah gifts, they are truly appreciated. L'Shanah Tova, and Happy New Year!
