Homeschool Chanukah Fun!

PDF Printable for this activity is here.

This morning, I decided this sheet would be more fun if it was a cut n’ paste activity, with each bear getting a “room” in their house.

Gavriel Zev loved it! He was a bit perplexed at first about which bear got which items, so I backed up a bit. First, we made a menorah parade: smallest to largest. Then, we made a dreidel parade: largest to smallest. Finally, when all the items were arranged in order, I had each member of the family “ask” for their thing, with Papa Bear demanding the biggest of everything – of course.

Naomi Rivka was so fascinated that she had to get in on the action. I was going to have her draw lines on her sheet from each bear to his/her objects, but she really wanted to make a house, too. She decorated her house a bit when she was done.

Here are the two houses, side by side, all ready for Chanukah!

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad. She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel. She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.” I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community. Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos. Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach . Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
