The 5th graders learned a section of Talmud about the mitzvah of "pirsumei nisa": our obligation to publicize the miracle of Hanukkah.
The students thought about this mitzvah, and discussed the following big idea: Hanukkah is a time for us to appreciate our religious freedom and to feel proud of our Jewish identity.
They created Hanukkiyot with reflections on this big idea and they are now hanging on our Freedom Board. Their Hanukkiyot will be sent home before break, and I hope that as a family, you all take some time to reflect on the big idea and the students' answers.
