Hanukkah

Our class has been learning about Hanukkah, fondly referred to as the Jewish "Festival of Lights". We colored menorahs and glittered Stars of David. Did you know that the Star of David is a six pointed star made up of two triangles? It is also called "Magen David", meaning "shield of David" in Hebrew, by the people of Judiasm. The blue Star of David symbol is a part of the flag design of Israel and is a symbol of unity.
Here is a photo of our class with our stars!
