COMING SOON: Chanukah Lapbook!

image“Here comes Chanukah, here comes Chanukah, right down Chanukah lane…”

Not quite yet – but SOON.  Ted’s working on the artwork.  I’m working on 15-20 clever little mini-books that will teach your kids and mine everything there is to know about this festival I have always secretly resented because it’s NOT, just NOT, the Jewish Xmas, darnit.

Why take it out on little old   Chanukah?  I know, it doesn’t make much sense…

Oh, and I *do* spell it Chanukah.  (see the complete list of alternate spellings here)

I have a terrible, miserable, awful, no-good, very bad COLD or ALLERGIES and I’m going to bed.  While I get my rare but much-deserved rest, leave dozens and dozens of comments clamouring about exactly what you’re looking for in a Chanukah lapbook…

imageMeanwhile, check out last year’s posts:

Sheesh… what more could you want???  That’s more than ENOUGH about Chanukah… I’m sick of it already!

Anyway, lapbook requests in the comments section, please.  I really would like your input to make this as fabulous and fun as my other lapbook projects have been!

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
