Chanukah THEME |
 |
Chanukah is an eight-day holiday beginning on the Twenty-fifth day of the month of Kislev. It celebrates the miraculous victory of the Jews against Greek persecution and religious oppression. Chanukah celebration usually lands in December.
In addition to being victorious in war, another miracle occurred. When the Maccabees came to rededicate the Temple, they found only one flask of oil with which to light the Menorah. This small flask lasted for eight days. One version of the reason for lighting the Menorah, each day for eight days, is in celebration for this miracle, but there are many answers offered to resolve the question and the discussion surrounding these answers. If there was enough oil in the flask that was found to last one day, then the miracle of the oil lasting for was really only a miracle for the latter seven of the eight days. Yet, we know that we celebrate Chanukah for eight days! What is the reason behind the eight day celebration that we have?
The Bais Yosef himself offers three explanations to the Chanukah celebration lasting eight days. The ones preparing the Menorah for lighting knew it would take eight days for more oil to be gotten, so they divided the flask into eight parts, so the Menorah could be lit every day. They never expected them to remain lit for the entire eight days, but the miracle occurred when the small amounts of oil added each day were enough to keep the Menorah lit the entire time.
The traditional lighting has become a celebration of the miraculous victory of the Jews against persecution and religious oppression, by the Greeks, as well as a celebration of a miracle. A miracle that allowed the Menorah to continue to burn for eight days have a Brunch celebration if the evening doesn't work out as well for you.

HANDMADE
PARTY SUPPLIES |
 |
Chanukah begins on the 25th day of the month of Kislev in the Jewish calendar (November/December). In honor of this special celebration, Festival of Lights, have children make homemade Chanukah party supplies. Numerous party supplies can be done with minimal materials. Research suggests children are usually less capable and less comfortable expressing themselves using words; therefore art can be used as a creative form of expression. Chanukah arts & crafts projects for children to consider include, egg carton Menorahs, star of David Photo Magnets, Dreidel magnets, milk carton Dreidels, decorative Dreidel box, craft stick Star of David, dangling Dreidel door hanger, Chanukah charm bracelet, Star of David door sign, and Hanukkah/Chanukah gift can.
Not only are Chanukah homemade party supplies easy to make, but amazingly simple. Use various home supplies, along with store bought items, and any child can make arts & crafts projects for any Jewish holiday. The beauty of homemade party supplies is that once a child learns how to make one, he or she can teach his or her friends how to make their own. For children not familiar with Chanukah or any other Jewish holiday, learning how to make arts & crafts from children who are is beneficial to all parties involved.
Chanukah celebrations should be much anticipated as they are celebrations one usually shares with the family. This holiday should be celebrated with much food, entertainment and decorations. Decorations are always welcomed and can really determine the mood of a party. There is a huge variety of different decorations but the ones that are engraved are the best one. For this year’s party have engraved candles that say “Happy Chanukah” and have all the tables decorated with such.
