New Hanukkah E-Guide Helps Teachers Explain Holiday to Students

WINCHESTER, Va. - Oct. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Every year, thousands of teachers in elementary, middle and high school classrooms explain the festival of Hanukkah to their students. A new e-guide just released by  JewishHolidaysInABox.com, “Celebrate Hanukkah: How to Light Up Your Holiday,” (http://JewishHolidaysInABox.com) makes explaining Hanukkah much easier.

“Celebrate Hanukkah: How to Light Up Your Holiday” gives a step-by-step overview:

·       Hanukkah basics (what is Hanukkah, when is Hanukkah, core concepts, Hanukkah glossary, Hanukkah gifts)

·       Traditional Hanukkah foods (with Hanukkah recipes for potato latkes and ideas for Hanukkah cookies)

·       Hanukkah decorations

·       Hanukkah blessings

·       Hanukkah candle-lighting tips (how many Hanukkah candles you need, how to light the candles)

·       Hanukkah songs

·       How to play dreidel

Early feedback from teachers and parents: “I particularly like the step-by-step approach.” “I appreciate the section that teaches us how to light the candles properly and explains why in simple English that is easy for my students to understand.” “A great walk-through of the holiday.” “I’m a Christian, but I believe that we should understand Jewish celebrations.”
