Now let us see how the children of “”Hadas” kindergarten from Akko

continued the story

The Jug of oil met the terrified Dreidel and explained to him

that it should not be afraid from the Menorah’s light

“The Menorah was lightening in our temple in Jerusalem”

said the jug “ and it’s lights tell us about Hanukkah's miracle”

“In every Jewish house you can find a Menorah in Hanukkah and the family lights it for 8 days. In each

day we add another candle” added the Jug of oil

“I want to invite you to Hanukkah party in “Haddas “ class in Akko” said the jug

“You will enjoy it very much and you will see how the children of “Hadas” kindergarten light a Menorah , sing songs about it and about you ,the

Dreidel

They sing about Hanukkah miracle and eat testy doughnuts”!

The Dreidel listen to the jug and was convinced to participate in “Hadas”

kindergarten Hanukkah party.

When he saw the happy children and their teacher

Perla singing about the Menorah , he was not afraid

any more.

He looked around and saw

Wonderful Menorahs that the children of

“Hadas” kindergarten made

from recycled materials and he

understood that the Menorah is very

important to all of “Hadas “ class

Finally the Dreiedle smiled and said:

“Happy Hanukkah to all the children in Akko and in the whole world”

Happy Hanukkah

to you from Perla,

Shoshi

And the children of

“Hadas” class
