CHANUKKAH AT BETH HA-YELED
The exciting days of Pre-Chanukkah,
and Chanukkah itself, are over, and
looking back to these last three weeks,
I’d like to say that they were a fine
and new experience for the children and
teachers alike. We did not celebrate
Chanukkah in the sense schools, syna-
gogues, yes, even the homes, used to do—
we lived it.
Our activities were basically the same
as usual: we built with blocks, played
with Tinker Toys, worked with clay,
cut and colored. We sang and marched,
and dramatized the stories told. But
all our work was centered around the
background and the ceremonies of Chan-
ukkah, and everything we did received
a festive touch.
The blocks formed a temple in which
the “Ner Tomid” had its right place.
Tinker Toys became “dreidels” instead
of seesaws; the clay proved to be ex-
cellent material for a big platter with
“latkes”, and the scissors followed the
lines of blue and white stars. Our
“menorahs”, made from cardboard, yarn-
spools, large beads, and bottle tops,
were the pride of all the children, since
each of them had taken part in creating
them.
We marched to the tune of “I’d Like
to Be a Maccabee”, and the boys, in their
paper helmets, looked very much like
Jewish soldiers. (I guess their cowboy

food for the fighting Maccabees. And
what did they fix? Latkes, of course.
To tell you of the children’s expectant
and solemn mood while they watched one
of their group saying the blessing over
the candles, seems superfluous. Look
at the pictures taken on the first and last
days of Chanukkah and judge for your-
selves.
The morning after Chanukkah was
a regular break-up session. Now blocks,
Tinker Toys, beads, clay, and all the
other materials are back in their boxes
waiting to be turned into . . .
We’ll let you know next month, into
what.
