Atlanta Jewish Community Center Announces The
4th Exciting Season of Camp Barney Medintz 1966
Hanukah Celebration
For Preschoolers
The Nursery School wing of
the Center had a gay festive ap
pearance for the Hanukah hol
iday as the children decorated
their playrooms with their own
handiwork in honor of the hol
iday.
Gay paper chains and flutter
ing mobiles provided a starting
point. Menorahs, little tops and
other symbols of the holiday
were added in many ways and
in variety of media as each child
expressed himself in his own
fashion.
But it was not only through
crafts that the children experi
enced the meaning of Hanukah.
The teachers told the story of the
Maccabees and their struggle for
freedom. Some of the children
dramatized this stirring aspect of
the ancient story. They learned
songs about the Shames candle
and some of the youngsters play
ed at the ritual of lighting the
candles in the Menorah while
they sang. The candles were lit
and the blessing was sung each
day of the holiday. Some of the
groups mixed and stirred the
batter and helped to fry potato
latkes for their mid-morning
snack.
The girls and boys helped to
plan their party suggesting the
games they wanted to play and
the songs they wanted to sing.
Thus in many ways the festival
of Hanukah was made meaning
ful to the Nursery Schoolers as
they enjoyed a variety of daily
activities.
