Hanukkah

Our children celebrate many holidays around the world. Stories, work material and special food accompany each of them. Hanukkah was our first holiday in December. Maybe you have heard a story of a mean king, temple and oil that lasted 8 days instead of one or to sum it up "A miracle of Hanukkah" as the children quickly describe it...
