"A Hanukkiyah for Dina"

Chanukah provides lots of opportunities for science, and Ganon Aleph has been experimenting with oil, candles, wicks, and and (small) flames. Our favorite was making a chanukiyah out of potatoes, inspired by Floreva Cohen’s “A Hanukkiyah for Dina.”

Gan 'ד Performed the Story חג החנוכה!

We had so much fun being the actors המכבים - היהודים and the יוונים. The Jewish people kept all of the מצוות and made an army called the מכבים! We cheered when the small Jewish army was able to defeat the larger army of יוונים and we held our breath as the Jewish people searched and searched for a little drop of שמן זית to light the special מנורה. Finally, we smiled in amazement as we recalled that the flames of the מנורה burned for 8 whole days, an amazing נס from Hashem.

Olive pressing in Gan Gimmel!

Lower School

Third Graders Learn About the Weather

3D has just finished our weather unit! Over the past few months we have explored different ways that we can protect ourselves and prepare for different types of weather. This week our students created their own emergency kits. Are you and your family ready if disaster strikes and your home is without power? If not, come to 3D and we can help you out!

Class 4B finished learning Perek Bet in Yehoshua. As an exciting review we played Jeopardy!

Middle School

The Yavneh Chesed team joined Yachad last Monday night for a virtual game night. Yavneh students and Yachad members played Jeopardy together and helped each other with answers and offered opinions. Over 45 students joined the game night! We were so proud of our students who joined Yachad to bring some fun into their lives over zoom!
