On Tuesday, December 20, for its annual Chanukah Chagigah, Shevach High School was transformed into “Flame” (or was that Fame?), an upscale clothing store. The Shevach chagigah heads – Tehilla Aranov, Gitty Hellman, Devora Trop, and Sarah Wiederkehr – under the direction of Shevach Educational Administrator Mrs. Devorah Kovitz, did an amazing job turning the Multi-Purpose Room into a stunning boutique. While browsing around, the students were treated to a delectable feast featuring doughnuts, latkes, candy, and personalized Flame cookies.

Chanukah in MTA was epic! With incredible programing throughout the week, the talmidim and faculty enjoyed the festive atmosphere and took chizuk from a beautiful yom tov.

Students from SKA brought excitement and fun to Lamplighter Hebrew Academy this week. They joined students to create special Chanukah projects. The Lamplighter students were so excited to welcome visitors to the school. SKA students created a wonderful Chanukah atmosphere!

December has been an exciting, inspiring time at Central: Preparations for midterms have been accompanied by the fun and excitement of holiday programming.

Chanukah at SKA was an absolute blast! It is always a highlight of the school year, and this Chanukah was no exception.

SKA’s Chanukah programming kicked off on Monday, December 19, with breakfasts at teachers’ homes. Each faculty member who hosted prepared a delicious breakfast with a whole array of foods for students to enjoy. Some of the options included yogurt parfaits, bagels, doughnuts, pancakes, and more. It was such an amazing opportunity for students to connect with teachers outside of a school setting.

Kislev is always an exciting month at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe. Starting with Early Childhood Chanukah Mommy and Mes, continuing with menorah construction projects in the Early Childhood division and in Rabbi Lisker’s fifth grade, the anticipation and excitement was well worth the wait. The week of Chanukah was filled with many exciting events and treats sponsored by the yeshivah’s Parents Association. Every day of Chanukah had another treat for the talmidim, including light up Chanukah spinners, Chanukah Oodles, Chanukah putty, and of course donuts. A festive environment filled the building as the boys had many in class Chanukah parties arranged by their dedicated rebbeim and teachers.  The eighth grade Chanukah fair was another exciting experience at the yeshivah. Additionally, each division had their own special mesibah. Mrs. Levine and the Early Childhood morahs had a division-wide Chanukah game in the main dining hall. Rabbi Ahron Bookson, assistant menahel, ran a mesibah for grades 1-4 with music, dancing, and of course raffles. The boys in grades 4-8 enjoyed grade-wide mesibahs with the Schnitzel Guys and Yossi Newman. As the boys departed yeshivah for Chanukah break, they went home with many special Chanukah memories.
