Chanukah has been an exciting time for everyone, here at IJP. We've had fun playing dreidel, eating latkes, baking cookies, reading beautiful Chanukah stories, and much more over the past week.
Though the Holiday of Chanukah may have come to an end this past Monday, the spirit of the holiday has not left our hearts.
During creative play outside on the ship, the kids decided to make a "Chanukah Party". Some people brought "latkes" to the party, others "gelt", "water", "donuts", and whatever else their lively imaginations could come up with, using the leaves, acorns, and sticks around us as inspiration.
We had a lot of fun, saying our favorite parts of Chanukah, and singing our favorite songs.
Chanukah is a beautiful time of year, celebrating how Hashem is constantly taking care of us, and even during our hardest moments, in the darkest of winter, there is light to be found.
Lucky for us, we have our wonderful IJP students to bring light to our lives, with their beautiful shining faces and excitement for life, whether on Chanukah or any other day of the week.
