Shalom 4th-6th Grade Families:
This Sunday evening marks the first day of Chaukkah and we have been doing all kinds of activities in preparation. We played the "guess that blessing" game where the students were blindfolded and had to reach into a bag containing a wide variety of fruit, vegetables, breads, baked goods and candles. Each student got a chance to "blindly" reach into the bag and choose an item. He/she could use all of the the other 4 senses to guess the item and then make the appropriate blessing over it. We had so much fun and laughed a lot.
In addition, we practiced the blessings over the Chanukkah candles on the first night and subsequent 7 nights. We identified the correct way to light the chanukkia and discussed the different ways Americans celebrate and Israelis celebrate the holiday.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday for a special Chanukkah concert at 11 am. We wish you a peaceful Shabbat!
B'shalom,
Motah Zachor and Morah Katz
