Israel is a central part of modern Judaism. We are deeply connected to our Homeland. But do we know what is happening there all the time? On this last night of Chanukah we will examine the שם/Sham, “there,” from the “Great Miracle Happened There,” on our dreidles. We will send you some articles from the daily news in Israel for your family to read together and gain a deeper sense of our Homeland.
