Chanukah Storytime & Supper

Following the success of Chanukah on Ice, families in Miami Beach
poured into the Jewish Learning Center Chabad on 41st Street on to
Monday December 19th, to participate in the Chanukah Edition of
Storytime & Supper.

With last minute reservations being emailed and texted in all day, the
JLC was buzzing with activity preparing an amazing program and a
delicious supper for all the children. Although Storytime & Supper
happens once a month with an average attendance of 50 - 60 people,
this time things were way different! With all the last minute
reservations in a crowd of 150 was expected and when it came time for
the program, more than 190 people showed up to participate!

To start the program, the children enjoyed bouncing around on the
bounce house and then when told, they came into the shul where the
kids sat by tables and were taken under the direction of Rabbi Aron
who got them all focused with the saying of a few Torah Pesukim. It
was then that the lights were dimmed and the kids were in amazement as
they listened to the story of "Matisyahu Dov Ber Chaim Tzvi and
Chanukah Night Number 3" that was projected onto the the wall and
gigantic and read by Rabbi Aron.

After enjoying the story, the kids enjoyed an amazing supper of franks
in blanks, mini shnitzels, french fries, salad and corn on the cob
that was distributed with the help of the parents and volunteers. With
the kids full from all the great food, it came time for the craft of
the day which was decorating donuts for dessert! With an assortment of
donuts filled with either jelly, chocolate, custard or just plain, the
kids enjoys painting their donuts with icing and then all different
types of sprinkles.

Before the kids continued with the bounce house or leaving to go home,
the kids got a special treat of light up chanukah necklaces, chocolate
coins and the amazing Kids magazine for Chanukah!

The saying goes 'that if there is a big mess then you know the kids
had fun' - with that being the case, they for sure had the best fun
ever and the cleanup crew had fun as well!

With Chanukah a day away, the kids were ready to go and light their
menorahs! Fun was had by all and best of all, many kids told their
parents they had to come each night of Chanukah to join in the
lighting of the JLC Menorah and the Chanukah fun and some to light
their own menorahs as well!
