During our meeting last week we learned all about Hanukkah. The girls had fun pretending to be asleep when we reinacted the celebration of the 8 nights of Hanukkah. We also talked about the miracle that happened when the Jewish people went back to their temple to dedicate it and one days worth of lamp oil burned for 8 nights, thus the celebration goes on for eight nights. We also read books about Jewish traditions and we played with a couple different kinds of driedels. Emma and Maddie brought the menorah that is in this picture. We had a fun time.
Our next meeting is scheduled for the 20th. We will be celebrating Christmas traditions then.
