Hanukkah Resources for Family Educators

Below are a few of the great online resources available for Hanukkah at BabagaNewz.com.

Share this creative ceremony with all of the families at your school: http://babaganewz.com/teachers/kindling-flames-of-courage-a-hanukkah-ceremony. It begins with lighting the hanukkiyah and saying the appropriate blessings. The ceremony then looks at the strength of heroes who stood up for their beliefs--even in times of great pressure--and inspired others to take action.

Begin a session of your parent-child learning group with these informative (and entertaining) Top Eight Hanukkah Myths: http://babaganewz.com/articles/top-eight-hanukkah-myths.
