Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we continued studying Chanukah. We focused on the practices of this holiday; what qualifies as a Chanukiah (eight lights of the same height + a Shamash) and how we light it (we place the candles in from right to left adding an additional candle each night of Chanukah but light them left to right). Then we reviewed the three blessings we say over the lighting of the chanukiah on the first night of Chanukah as well as the two blessings we make when we light the chanukiah on the rest of the eight nights of Chanukah. We are looking forward to celebrating the first night of Chanukah with you at Hebrew School on December 16th! Please arrive at 5:40 pm for a community candle lighting and Chanukah songs. We will use the beautiful Chanukiot the children are creating.
Best,
Morah Hollenberg
