This week, Jews around the world will gather together with family and friends and celebrate the Jewish Festival of Lights, Hanukkah. In our Kitah Vav community, we too will celebrate together as we look at the holiday from a new perspective, one of giving rather than getting. For many families, the true meaning of the holiday is lost in the consumerism of the winter season. In our classroom discussions we hope to reinforce the important meaning behind the celebration, religious freedom, and the right to be free. Please help your children dig a little deeper this year and look for ways to help make the world a little bit better, and perhaps share their wealth with those less fortunate.
