To share a part of miracle with children, we held the Hanukkah holiday at the Honorary Consulate of the State of Israel in the Western region of Ukraine, located in Lviv.
It is important for children to respect their traditions and teach history. Rabbi Siva Fainerman skillfully in game form told the kids about the miracle of Hanukkah and with them lit a third Hanukkah candle.
Holiday without surprises - is not a holiday! Therefore, the doll theater called the "Valley of fairy tales" performed with the play about eternal values - kindness, friendship, support and love for parents. And especially the kids were delighted when everyone was "immersed" into a huge so-called "home", during the show of bubbles.
Parents have to give a lot of their own forces in order to raise their child a decent, human-loving, honest and kind person. Holidays make it possible for us, in an easy and unobtrusive way, to lay the foundations for the development of the children.
For example, on Hanukkah, children traditionally are given some money. In Yiddish, this is called "Hanukkah Gelt" - Hanukkah money, in Hebrew - "Dmyh Hanukkah". With this money child can do what he wants - immediately buy something for himself or postpone for the future.
But there is one indisputable obligation - a part of the money should be paid on charity. So even the youngest children are taught to help those who need it. Because there are always people who do not have money for gifts and holidays.
Children are our future!
May your warmth and kindness live in your hearts!
Hag Hanukkah sameah!
