Pre-Chanuah Funzone at Hebrew School

Every day is exciting @ Chabad Neshama Hebrew School, but on November 14th the students were treated with an extraordinary Chanukah Fun-Zone and Carnival.
The carnival was not just open to students but also to other children in the community. At one booth the children decorated cookies with pink and green icing, chocolate sprinkles, and, of course, rainbow sprinkles. Another booth featured a menorah lighting presentation, as well as an oil and water science experiment.

The oil and water experiment symbolized that just as oil rises, no matter the trouble or difficulty, a Jew can always overcome. A third booth involved menorah making. The children built fabulous menorahs out of different color and size tiles. Other booths included an olive oil and seal hunt and a live match it game.

The kids went home with arms filled with menorahs, treats, and special Chanukah prizes.

Special Needs Children Get Chanuka Gifts

This year the Chabad Neshama Hebrew School of Manhattan Beach took on a special mission: collecting toys to give to underprivileged and special-needs children as Chanukah gifts.

The Toy Drive was opened up to the entire community and the community really pulled through. The Rabbi’s house was jam-packed with brand new presents that the community had donated. The Hebrew School children enjoyed wrapping the toys with Chanukah themed gift wrap and colorful bows.

Rabbi Avrohom and Shula Winner, Co-directors of Chabad at Manhattan Beach went to various homes for special-needs children and shelters for the underprivileged, giving out the toys. “It was worth a million dollars to get a hug from these kids. It was truly a rewarding experience delivering the gifts.” Thank you to everyone who donated toys and to all those who helped deliver the gifts. We really made a difference to these children.
