Mission Statement: To train, educate and equip for study both the Jew and the non-Jew in the rich Biblical/Hebraic Heritage.
Party Ideas, Videos, Skits, and Crafts for Your Enjoyment
VIDEOS
We have mentioned two adult videos that you may want to rent, but do check your public library first. They may know of others that you may want to view. A wonderful set of Sesame Street videos are available from Jonathan David Publishers on the festivals. The children love seeing Chanukkah done by their friends of Sesame Street!
Another set of videos that we found at our library are former Public Broadcasting System specials on the series called "Civilization. The History of the Jews" by Abba Ebba. These nine one hour videos give you a wonderful overview from the time of creation to the present day. It explains about how the destruction of the Temple changed things, and even discussed Christians as a "sect" of Jewish people for fifteen generations. It discusses how Christians were pulled away from their Jewish roots. It does an excellent job of sharing about the dark ages, the Spanish Jews, and even the Holocaust. If you haven't seen it, we would suggest that you do so before Hanukkah so you will have a better understanding. By the way, these videos are taken from Abba Ebba's book which you can also find at your library.
SKITS
Children have always had a wonderful time "play acting" and it has also proven to be a wonderful form of teaching. During Hanukkah much of the fun and entertainment of the evening is provided by the children and skits and plays are a great form of family fun and participation. The following skits are ready for you to utilize as is or to be inspired by. Feel free to write your own skits, too.
What's a Midrash? (Taken from our Hebrew Glossary of Study Terms) "The plural is midrashim- A collection of works compiled between the third and twelfth centuries that seeks out underlying truths and meanings of the Bible; the result of the process of delving into the ramifications of a biblical verse and of the ancient rabbis' reading between the lines of Scripture."
Remember that the Temple was destroyed and that the Jewish people were taken into slavery and dispersed all over the world as slaves. The few rabbis that were left were afraid that these things would be lost if they weren't written down. If you remember your history, you will know that when the Roman Empire fell, then we went into what is known as "The Dark Ages". During this time literacy was not available to slaves or "serfs" as they were known. They were forbidden to read the Bible, and thus they had to preserve everything orally. The few rabbis that were able wrote down these things so they wouldn't be lost. This was what God chose the Jews for--to preserve His Instructions without changing a "jot or tittle."
This is taken from the Midrash Rabbah (Great Midrash) and was presented from Or Zarua (Light Is Sown) by Rabbi Isaac ben Moses of Vienna, who lived in the thirteenth century. You can find variations of this story in the Book of Maccabees, too, but we thought this best fit a short skit theme. We have taken this Midrash and written it in a skit format, but it is basically the same.
This midrash shows you the heart of the Jewish people who have clung to the Torah through 2000 years of dispersal. We know from the Dead Sea Scrolls that the books of the Bible today are no different in their translations of Isaiah and such as were 2000 years ago. These people need to be recognized as not compromising the Word of God. They are called the Chosen People because God knew that down through time they would preserve it without changing anything! You and I have translations that are translated from Greek, but the Jewish people have preserved the Original Testament in Hebrew without changing a jot or tittle. That is what they were called to do. We must seek to know the Bible in its original form instead of the Hellenistic Greek influenced version. May this story touch your heart, and teach you that compromise with the World's values is not for you in the days ahead.
Skit: THE WOMAN AND HER SEVEN SONS
It is for Your sake that we are slain all day long, that we are thought of as sheep to be slaughtered. Psalm 44:23
Directions: You will need seven sons (or girls dressed as boys), a king, a mother, and perhaps two guards. King is seated on the throne throughout this play. The mother is to be present in the throne room watching, and the guards bring each son before the king.
Guard: Serve the idol!
First Son: (This is the oldest son) It is written in the Law, "I the Lord, am your God." (Exodus 20:2) (Guard leads him away and kills him. His body lays for all to see on the side of the stage.)
Guard (takes the second son before the king): Serve the idol!
Second Son: It is written in the Torah, "You shall have no other gods beside Me." (Exodus 20:3) (Guard leads him away and kills him. His body lays for all to see on the side of the stage.)
Guard takes the third son before the king: Serve the idol!
Third son: It is written in the Torah, "Whoever sacrifices to a god other than the Lord above shall be proscribed." (Exodus 22:19)
(Guard leads him away and kills him. His body lays for all to see on the side of the stage.)
Guard takes the fourth son before the king: Serve the idol!
Fourth son: It is written in the Torah "You shall not bow down to them." (Exodus 20:5)
(Guard leads him away and kills him. His body lays for all to see on the side of the stage.)
Guard takes the fifth son before the king: Serve the idol!
Fifth son: It is written in the Torah "Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One." (Deut. 6:4)
Guard leads him away and kills him. His body lays for all to see on the side of the stage.)
Guard takes the sixth son before the king: Serve the idol!
Sixth son: It is written in the Torah "Know therefore this day and keep in mind that the Lord alone is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath, there is no other." (Deut. 4:39)
(Guards leads him away and kills him. His body lays for all to see on the side of the stage.)
Guard takes the seventh and final son before the king: Serve the idol!
Seventh son: (This is the youngest) It is written in the Torah "You have affirmed this day that the Lord is your God...And the Lord has affirmed this day that you are, as He promised you, His treasured people (Deut. 26:17-18). We have long ago sworn to the Holy One, blessed be He, that we will not exchange Him for any other god, and He also has sworn to us that He will not change us for any other people.
The King: I will throw down my seal before you and you can stoop down and pick it up, so that they will say of you that you have conformed to the desire of the king.
Seventh son: Fie on you, King! Fie on you! If your honor is so important, how much more the honor of the Holy One, blessed be He!
(Guards lead him away to be killed.)
Mother: Give him to me that I may kiss him a little. (Seventh Son runs to the arms of his mother) My son, go and say to your father Abraham, Thou didst bind one son to the altar, but I have bound seven to seven altars!
(Guard walks up and kills him in his mother's arms. His body lays for all to see on the side of the stage.)
(The mother turns and runs away. A guard enters a few moments later and stands before the king and motions that something terrible has happened!)
The King: You may speak!
Guard: (Bows) Sire! A terrible thing has happened!
The King: What is it!
Guard: I followed the mother to the roof where she threw herself off and was killed. And I heard a voice thereupon from heaven saying. "A happy mother of children."
(The king and guards look at each other and wonder.)
King: What does their God do for them that they are all the time slain for His sake!
All the dead sons stand and with their mother and say, "As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord!"
**THE END**
Skit: JUDAH MACCABEE CLAIMS THE TEMPLE
We will let you write the script for this one. Turn back to the story of the history of Hanukkah and let your drama players improvise the lines as they go along. Great fun for everyone! Or better still go to your public library and you can find a copy of the Book of Maccabees and use it as your script.
I'M A DREIDEL
(Children take turns being the dreidel and sides mean different calls...)
Skit: THE REAL MEANING OF DREIDEL STUDY
You will need, bathrobes for costumes, a scarf or throw to cover the Bible/scroll, a dreidel, some pennies or coins, a soldier with a sword and perhaps several verses from the first five books of the bible written larger than normal for the players to read aloud. (Good Bible skill lesson)
This skit idea can revolve around a scene of young men who want to study the Torah, but know that King Antiochus has forbidden it. They find a dreidel and decide to fool the wicked soldiers in to thinking that they are gambling. One young Torah scholar takes the watch while the rest get in to position. They can discuss the different Hebrew letters and what they mean (You could even have large cardboard examples that they could use to teach the audience the lesson. Don't forget to make the letters say "A great miracle happened here".)
Remember a skit is to share a teaching with everyone both in the preparation but also to the audience. The scene could be interrupted several times by a soldier coming down the street and the watcher calling, "Quick! Cover the scroll! Then the players could very innocently be teaching each other the Hebrew alphabet with the guard looking over their shoulders and perhaps asking, "I didn't think that you Hebrews approved of gambling." And one of the players replying, "We don't as a rule, but this game intrigued us and drew us away from our traditions. Isn't that what your king wants? For us to give up our traditions and religion?" The guard could then walk away shaking his head.
The whole idea of this skit is not to show off the game as a "game of chance" but of the Hebrews out foxing the fox. You can teach other truths during the skit that your players discover. We want to leave this totally up to you.
GAME: Hannah and Emma's PRAISE GOD GAME
This game is age appropriate for children of many different ages including those who are just learning to talk or point. The game goes very quickly, any number of people can play and there is only one rule--after someone guesses the answer everyone says "PRAISE GOD." To start the game, someone looks a round and decides on an object, person or feeling that God has made (God has made or provided us with everything that you can see, touch or hear--this really isn't very difficult). For example, the player might see a houseplant and would then say to the group "God made something green," "God gave us something that grows," or "I see something God made and it's sitting in a pot, " etc. Anyone can guess what it is and when the correct answer is given everyone says "Praise God for plants." If the group can't guess the answer than the player can give another clue. In this case it might be something like "God's letting what I'm looking at get taller everyday." The next person to pick an object, person or feeling can be the one who guessed correctly (this works best with older children) or by going around the room and taking turns in order (which always works best with the smaller children). There are no losers in this game and the fun is that everyone wins as they discover more and more of God's wondrous gifts. Have fun and "PRAISE GOD!"
GAME: TWISTER DREIDEL
(Directions: Left hand on Gimel, right hand on nun, etc.)
BIBLE TRIVIA GAME
(If you don't have a game like this (which would make a wonderful Hanukkah gift) you could make one using the scriptures that we've included in your study lessons.)
DREIDEL GAME
You may purchase a dreidel from a synagogue or call 1-800-566-1998 to Bridges for Peace to order one.
CRAFT: MAKE A DREIDEL
You can make a dreidel out of an egg carton. Cut a cup from the bottom of a styrofoam or darboard egg carton. Make four cuts to form petals at each corner. Insert a sharpened pencil, or long nail through the bottom of the cup. Add the Hebrew letters with a pen on each petal and spin away! (Other ideas for making dreidels can be found in other books that we have listed.)
DREIDEL GAME:
You will need some "chips" or counters. Our children play with singly wrapped candy. Some children have the special chocolate wrapped coins called GELT that you can find. Others bring gummy bears, or whatever they like. Usually about three pounds per child or person. You could use nuts, popcorn, pennies or whatever you like. Grandparents collect pennies during the year and distribute them at Hanukkah for the game. Keep what you win!
1. Each player puts one token from his or her pile into the center.
2. Taking turns, the players spin the dreidel. The letter that is facing up when the dreidel stops spinning tells the player what to do.
3. If the center pile is empty, each person must add one object to the pile before the next player spins.
4. The game is over when one player has all the objects. (This could be a continuous game as the nights of house partying goes on.) You can also set a time for 20 minutes if you like.
NUN means that the player takes nothing!
GIMMEL means that the player takes everything.
SHIN means player adds object to pile.
HEY means player takes half of the pile.
THE BIGGEST DREIDEL IN THE WORLD
A friend decided to surprise us with the world's largest dreidel (or so we thought at the time). She took a large square box and used paper mache to make the pointed part. She put a wooden dowel in the middle. Then she painted the letters on the dreidel. We had a ball rolling the big dreidel around the house!
PINATA DREIDEL
Toys R US sell pinatas that are shaped like dreidels for about $7-10. You can fill it full of candy and then allow children to whack it with a broom handle to break it open. Lots of fun and you could even stick in gum or small unbreakable toys.
DESIGN A DREIDEL
*Used
by permission of Robin Scarlata from her book A Family Guide
to the Biblical Holidays
Two symbols stand out at this celebration. They are the dreidel, a four-sided spinning top, and the menorah, the oil lamp used in the temple. You can purchase these from suppliers or make a simple replica of your own.
To make your own Dreidel from a top you already have, see the following directions.
1. Use an ordinary top (tall ones work best) and cut a long card that will bend at four corners and touch the top when the ends come together. Be sure you can still spin the top–it is most important that the tip extends below the card. Measure around top to get the circumference. (Whip out the math book!) This diameter will equal one side. Multiply by four to get the length of the card needed.
2. Place the Hebrew alphabet letters for N (num), G (gimmel), H (heh), and SH (shin) which stand for the Hebrew words Nes Gadol Hayah Sham: A Great Miracle Happened Here. Use white glue (or rubber cement if you plan to reuse the top without the cards. Rub unwanted dried rubber cement off with an eraser or your fingers.)

SONG: "This Little Light of Mine"
SONG: "Rock of Ages" (http://www.MartyGoetz.com has a wonderful cd with holiday music on it.)
This is not the Christian version, but a wonderful song that we wanted to share the words with you. You can find this recording on our resource list or from a local synagogue.
"Mighty, praised beyond
compare,
Rock of my salvation,
Build again my house of prayer,
For Thy habitation!
Offering and libation,
Shall a ransomed nation
Joyful bring
There, and sing
Psalms of dedication.
Woe was mine in Egypt-land,
(Tyrant kings enslaved me);
Till Thy mighty, outstretched
hand
From oppression saved me.
Pharaoh, rash pursuing,
Vowed my swift undoing;
Soon, his host
That proud boast
'Neath the waves was ruling!
To Thy holy hill, the way
Madest Thou clear before me;
With false gods I went astray--
Foes to exile bore me.
Torn from all I cherished
Almost had I perished;
Babylon fell,
Ze-rub-ba-bel
Badest Thou restore me!
Then the vengeful Haman wrought
Subtly, to betray me;
In his snare himself he
caught--
He that planned to slay me.
(haled from Esther's palace;
hanged on his own gallows!)
Seal and ring
Persia's King
Gave Thy servant zealous.
When the brave Asmoneans broke
Javan's chain in sunder,
Through the holy oil Thy folk
Didst Thou show a wonder.
Ever full remained the vessel unprofained;
These eight days.
Light and praise,
Therefore were ordained.
Lord, Thy holy arm make bare;
Speed my restoration;
Be my martyr's blood Thy care--
Judge each guilty nation.
Long is my probation;
Sore my tribulation--
Bid, from heaven,
Thy shepherds seven
Haste to my salvation!"
Translated by Solomon Solis-Cohen from The Hanukkah Anthology by Philip Goodman page 382-3. Jewish Publication Society. (Chocked full of children stories, poems, history and recipes! A must for any library!)
Write a song to a familiar children's tune that relates to the celebration. For instance you can use the one that we made up to the tune of "BINGO' or make you own.
"On this night we praise
the Light,
and light the Hanukkiah.
L-I-G-H-T
L-I-G-H-T
L-I-G-H-T
and light the Hanukkiah."
LIGHT is the word to be abbreviated as it is sung again. The second time through the spelling of the word light would be--
"(Clap your hands) I-G-H-T
(Clap)-I-G-H-T
(Clap -I-G-H-T"
and then each additional round would add a clap and delete a letter.
GAME IDEAS:
Play the game Bingo but make your cards to spell out the name of JESUS or LIGHT.
Create a board game and laminate it in plastic. Call the game "dreidel" and move ahead using the dreidel rules as you go. Say one letter falls and you would go ahead, or another letter would fall and you would take all, or whatever.
CRAFTS AND DECORATIONS
MEMORY BOOK
A wonderful idea is a Hanukkah memory book. You could take 10 pieces of paper and staple them together in a book form, and write your memories down as a family during the evening, or first thing the next day. Pictures from a camera can be added later, or let the children draw their own. Of course, many people have video camcorders, and they can take their own videos of Hanukkah, too. But you might want to set your memory book up ahead of time.
These are only suggestions. This will allow you to remember for next year what you did this year, too. Feel free to change or add as you wish.

Personal story that I want to remember... Ideas welcomed!
It's under this section that we have chosen to capture the feelings of family tradition. For instance, this is the section that I recorded what happened when my two-year-old daughter Emma did at birthday party last year. On Sunday afternoon, she was invited to a friends birthday party and when they went to light the cake candles all the children were yelling and trying to get close to the cake to assist with the blowing out of the birthday candles--but there sat Emma in her high chair with her eyes fixed on the flame and her hands in front of her face drawing the lights towards her like she has seen so many times during the Sabbath service. This captured a very warm moment for us and confirmed our commitment to this kind of special education that celebrating the festivals and observing Sabbath bring us all so much closer to God in our everyday lives.
TABLE DECORATION IDEA:
Things Needed: Plain blue fabric, glue, pinking shears, and white straws with blue stripes.
Directions. Cut rectangles 3"X 5" with pinking shears. Then use regular scissors to cut straws into 6 pieces 2" long. Flatten the straws. Arrange the straw pieces on fabric in Star of David. Glue. You may use these to lay as you choose on the table, or around the house. Perhaps you could make them to larger and place in windows, or use on your placemats.
TABLE DECORATIONS CENTERPIECE: We looked at the hobby store all year for blue and silver ribbon and silk flowers that go with those colors. We make Stars of David out of cardboard and cover them with aluminum foil or buy foil mat board. Then we glue two stars together with an ice cream stick in the middle. The stars can be big or small. And of course we use nine candles in our centerpiece. We put a long skinny piece of styrofoam as the base, and then put the nine candles into the styrofoam or individual holders on top of the styrofoam (If you move it - be careful!). Then put your flowers, greenery and Stars of David in the base. I make bows, but also use ribbon on "pics" that stick up at appropriate places. You can even find gold wrapped "gelt" coins at the stores that you could put on "pics" and stick in your centerpiece.
DECORATIONS IN GENERAL: Since this is the Festival of Light, we usually string lights around our windows and doorways inside and outside of our house. One couple made a Star of David to hang outside from coat hangers with lights wrapped around it. You can also find streamers that say "Happy Hanukkah" mixed in with Christmas decorations at Target and discount stores. Royal blue and silver are the colors that most people use. Many of the books have wonderful ideas that will help you decorate your home. Making crafts together ahead of time also adds to the excitement. During each day of Hanukkah you could bake cookies, make crafts and gifts, too. Remember that Hanukkah is not given to be a financial drain on your family, but to teach lessons on rededication of your heart. Spending time as a family teaching and giving to the poor are life time gifts rather than the gifts that are bought with money.
PHOTO FRAME:
Things Needed: 6 ice cream sticks, glue, glitter, paper, yarn and a picture.
Make 2 triangles with ice cream sticks; Overlay the ends, glue. Glue triangles together to form a Star of David; glue on glitter. Mount photo on paper, leaving 1" border; glue to back of stick frame, add yarn to hang.
DREIDEL: Things Needed: Paper, 4 Hebrew letters and a pencil.
Cut a four inch square of paper; fold corners to center. Write the Hebrew letters that are appropriate for the game on each corner. Push pencil through the center and spin.
GREETING CARD: Things needed: 3 Straws, pinking shears, glue; paper.
If you have an artist in the house this is the time to let it shine! Fold colored paper in half; use pinking shears to trim edges. Flatten 3 straws; cut in half; form Star of David on card; glue.
GREETING CARD: You will need a computer program that does cards. All right! I cheat! I love to cut and paste things. Small handprints on the cover are sweet, too.
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: These can be as complicated or as simple as you feel that you have the time and energy to use.
WALL HANGINGS
(Hanukkiah Shape on the Wall: CONSTRUCTION PAPER ROPES or whatever you find at the craft store). You can have the children put the yellow chain up on each night if you like to represent a lit candle.
MONEY CONTAINER FOR CHARITY
This is very simple but has a lasting impact on your family. Take an empty one pound coffee can. Plan on using the plastic top as the cover. Then cut a hole big enough for quarters and wide enough for a few dollar bills. Decorate the outside with whatever your family chooses. We use seashells, small rocks or pebbles, or paper. You can make a trip to a craft store to see if they have anything that you can use, too. The important thing is to make it attractive. You will set it out on a table all week during the year, and teach that anything that goes into it must stay. On each Sabbath everyone in the family can contribute their offering to the can. Then you can say a prayer over it and accumulate it for Hanukkah each year. The money is to go to help the poor or to a special teacher.
TOM’S HANUKKIAH
Each year Tom makes the new people in our study group their first Hanukkiah. Tom's Hanukkiah is pictured on our 1996 ministry calendar on the month of December with our grandchildren. If you have power tools available we've included the directions here:
Get a 2"X 4" and cut it 18" long. Purchase some dowels and cut into lengths:
Purchase some craft candle cups (25 cents each) and drill a hole with a drill press in the bottom of each cup. Then use wood glue to assemble. Some people have stained theirs and others have left them natural. (Hint: the candles usually drip, so after Hanukkah you may stick it in a microwave for about 30 seconds to soften the wax. Then you can easily clean it. The best thing to do is to freeze your candles so they won't drip. But you have to remember to freeze them each day.)
LARRY’S HANUKKIAH
Larry found a lovely tree limb that was weathered and worn. He took it home and drilled 9 holes in it. Then Rolinda decorated the limb with ribbon, silk flowers, and Stars of David. It was beautiful!
PLACEMATS
You will need a heavier craft paper 11"X 17" in size. You can choose your own color. Then you can cut out or paint on the design that you want. Be sure to use acrylic paint and an iron will set the paint in the fabric so they can go in the washer. I cheat and use my computer to print out sayings and my card shop computer program. Then it is just cut and paste! I have a computer program that has white letters that they can color. Help your children create coloring books. Be creative!
HANUKKAH GIFT PAPER
You can take plain paper or even wrapping paper for this craft. Obviously you cannot use Christmas paper to wrap gifts. I went to the local synagogue and purchase plain blue paper and paper that had the words "Happy Hanukkah" and dreidels. But you can make you own! Use craft paints and cut out stencils with the Star of David on it and dreidels. Then you can use them to decorate your paper. You can also use potatoes as block printers and carve your design in the potato. Then dip it in your favorite color and print! I especially like the hand prints that my grandchildren put on their paper! Each year we teach the Hebrew alphabet-- especially the four letters that spell out the dreidel message. So you could carve the letters into potatoes and dip away! You could also use magic markers or crayons.
STREAMERS
(*I usually buy mine at Target, but you could make you own out of many things.) Little children love paper chains that they can glue together. I also take pieces of rolled paper that I get at the newspaper and cut it about 6' wide with my paper cutter. Then we use magic markers to write "Happy Hanukkah" on it. We cut it up about 4" from the top in about 1" slices so that it is like a feather cut.

MENORAH CRAFT
*Used by permission from A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays with Activities for All Ages by Robin Scarlata
Use clay-doh or purchase an air-drying craft clay to create a menorah to a scale that will use birthday candles. Do NOT light unless parents approve and check to see that candles are secure. This size candle will only last a brief time, such as during a Bible verse reading, etc. If you do light candles, remember to put down a piece of clear plastic wrap to catch drips.
*Roll the dough evenly to ½" thick. Make sure the opening in the base is slightly larger than the stem of the menorah. With pointed table knife cut out base and holder, keeping each in one piece if possible. If not, make sure parts fit together well and plan to glue after baking. Cut both pieces as they rest flat on a cookie sheet.
*Insert a candle 1/4" deep in top of each "branch" to make indention for holding candles later. Remove candles.
*Bake at 200 degrees for two hours. Turn over and bake another hour or more, or leave in warm oven (turned off) overnight. Cool.
*Insert stem into base and glue.
*Use spray or craft paint in silver or gold. Use a cotton swab to make sure your candle indentations do not fill with paint. Air dry as directed on paint label. Add craft crystal sequins or use puffy paint in gold to decorate with leaves, branches or other patterns, if desired.
CLAY-DOH
1 cup all-purpose or wheat flour
½ cup salt
½ cup corn starch
2 tbsps. Oil
1 cup water
Mix well. Teen or parent should cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes until rubbery, and it pulls away from sides of pan. Scoop out quickly onto wax paper and knead as soon as tolerable with the paper around it (its hot!) For one minute. Shape and bake as necessary for project. To smooth edges after baking, use emery board or medium sandpaper if necessary. Store portion in airtight bag.
This is not in the book but some of you may not have seen this list of websites where you can get other information and buy Hanukkah candles and holders, etc... So take a look at this, please:
