Excitement in the air

By Rabbi Ariel Boxman

At Temple Shalom Preschool, we are busy getting ready for Chanukah! Our students are learning about the miracle of the oil lasting eight days and the important battle that was fought for religious freedom. We have been making homemade dreidels, learning Chanukah songs with Miss Jane, and of course, eating our share of latkes and jelly donuts! Chanukah is a festive time here at Temple Shalom and you can feel the excitement in the air.

On Sunday, Dec. 13, we will gather as a Temple Shalom community for a morning of Chanukah festivities. Games, crafts and delicious treats will be available for all our families, as well as a special Chanukah concert performed by our talented preschool kiddos. All families are welcome to join us for this Chanukah Festival.

On Chanukah, we are reminded of our freedom and of the wonderous miracles that we experience each and every day. As the year 2020 is coming to an end, may we be reminded of our blessings and the personal miracles we have all experienced, even in this unusual and challenging year.

May 2021 be a year of peace, blessing and happiness for all!

Happy Chanukah from Temple Shalom Preschool!
