This year, Hanukkah is coming to you. The holiday of Hanukkah goes beyond the home and into the mall with a special hands-on experience for the whole family.
Activities will include a dreidel origami station, scavenger hunt, Hanukkah cookie decorating, olive oil tasting, drumming, hands-on volunteer opportunity, color-me calendar and raffles.
Hands-On Hanukkah is one of the Jewish Outreach Institute's Public Space Judaism programs, which make Jewish experiences more accessible by bringing the culture and traditions of Judaism to people where they are.
Spend a Sunday with your kids discovering new ways to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. This year, Hanukkah is coming to families where they are. Join Jewish Without Walls (JWOW)and Jewish Outreach Institute (JOI) inside Smith Haven Mall, in front of Macy's for an exciting and engaging Hanukkah program for the entire family. This year, Hanukkah is coming to families where they shop, with activities including Hanukkah cookie decorating, drumming, olive oil tasting, crafts, face painting and more.
Activities at Hands-on Hanukkah will include a dreidel origami station, where preschool and school-aged children will have the opportunity to create their own dreidels from origami paper, while learning about the game of dreidel, and the meaning of the Hebrew letters used on each side. There will also be Hanukkah crafts, musical entertainment, and free raffles and prizes for the entire family. Another activity will be for children to decorate their own Color-me Calendar, a dynamic activity-centered calendar that introduces children and their parents to the symbols and story of Hanukkah.
