Hanukkah

This year as a part of our Christmas festivities, we took part of Hanukkah too. We light a candle every day from Dec 21st to Dec 28th, and read from a devotional by Roy Lessin. We learned about Hanukkah and what it stands for in the Jewish faith. We want Edward to learn about these things because we feel they are an important part of the Christian walk. He enjoyed doing this and we read books about the dredel and laukas. In Dec of 2009, we will be able to focus more on the Jewish traditions to do with Hanukkah as it is celebrated a few weeks before Christmas. We will even be learning about the Passover Celebration in the Spring.
