There’s so much to love about Hanukkah! This eight-day festival is filled with candle light, miracles, spinning dreidels, donuts (sufganiyot) and dreams too! They’re so many ways to celebrate, and we share some of our favorite recipes, activities and DIYs, especially for families with young children!
As we say goodbye to Hanukkah, we welcome the arrival of a new season and the month of Tevet, which is known as the darkest month of the year. We created all kinds of warm and cozy DIYs and activities (all with a Jewish connection) to celebrate all month long. We hope these activities and the glow from all the candles lit during Hanukkah will keep you filled with light, warmth and love all winter long.
We made mini (but mighty) visual for the new year ahead. It might be small, but when I hold it in my hands, it feels weighty and substantial. I love the process of making a vision board. It’s really a lovely form of self-care - thinking about what you want to bring into your life and how you want to feel in the new year ahead. Come see the process of making one for yourself.
We are counting our blessing with children. You only need a few supplies and a heart full of gratitude. So let’s make a 100 Blessings Necklace for kids!
We thought it would be fun to make our own edible baby turkey - in honor of our upcoming “Turkey Day,” (Thanksgiving) which will be celebrated later this month in the United States. This is very easy to make - even for young children.
I think something that is really beautiful about Judaism, is that everyday, we have an opportunity to pause and be grateful. It’s even written in the Talmud that a person should say 100 blessings every day.
