Author Miriam Halahmy tells the story of Hanukkah
A big thank you to Miriam for such an engaging visit
It was wonderful to host author Miriam Halahmy, who visited our students to teach them about the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
Miriam told the the story of Hanukkah, and lit the candles on the chanukkiyah to demonstrate how the oil lasted for eight days. Miriam then explained the accompanying blessing and even recited it for our students.
It was a delightful 20 minutes in our library and our students listened impeccably. Thank you to Ms Loy, Mr Hines, and Ms Komisarek El-Mahmoud for putting on such a great event. Earlier in the day, Miriam kindly popped into our Year 7 Religious Studies lessons to continue her teachings about Hanukkah.
