Hanukkah

Teach (and Practice) a New Jewish Value Each Night of Hanukkah

Rabbi Ruth Adar

Assign a different Jewish value each one day of Hanukkah and plan appropriate activities for your family. The idea of activities is not simply doing for doing’s sake, but doing for the sake of learning. Be sure to reflect and talk afterward!
