NEWS FROM THE RIMON ZONE A Little More of Hanukkah Around The World: In the Homeland By: Juliet Morgan There are Jews all over earth, but do we really know what they do on our most famous Holiday of Hanukkah? My previous article covered several countries. I wrote about several countries so far, but the country I probably HAVE to talk about is how Hanukkah is celebrated in Israel! In Israel, you get all eight days off! Pretty cool am I right? According to the article: “8 lit places to celebrate Hanukkah around the world” they said “Israel observes the festival of lights like nowhere else”. They have something there called “an annual Hanukkah Torch Relay”. It's when the people of Israel pass around a flame coming from the city of Modiin where the people called Maccabees once lived. So yeah, no one does the festival of lights like it’s homeland. There are many countries in the world, 445 to be exact. But no matter where you are, Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday. Hanukkah is over a thousand year tradition, and it will always be famous for one thing, being the festival of lights.

Helping the Homeless By Gabrielle Burman Today in the Helping the Homeless chug they are still trying to get the mat done and make it really big. What they are trying to make is a mattress for the homeless. The mattress is made out of plastic bags. It is made out of plastic bags because the bags collect the sunlight so it will keep the homeless warm all night long. It will collect the sunlight all day so it will be warm all night. They looked like they were having fun and enjoying themselves.

Hanukkah Bag Decorating Contest By: Max Raffel Team Olim had a bag making contest to see who could make the best bag for the Hanukkah Palooza. Rabbi Rigler was the judge. In first place we had Sari F, in second place we had Alexis B, and in third place Max R (me). I have interviewed Sari and her friend Eva about Sari’s victory and here is what they said. Sari said she felt very good about her win but she was very nervous about entering the contest. Sari and Eva both say that Eva being Sari’s emotional support carried Sari through the competition, even though Eva put tape in Sari’s hair. Now it is time for me to interview myself and this is what I have said: I wasn’t very confident about entering and I said “can I win the prize for the worst bag”. I think my bag stood out because I had paper candles on the top.

Hanukkah Palooza Written by: Eva B.D Illustrated By: Sari D.F On December 5th we did the Hanukkah Palooza and it was a blast! Sari tried different kinds of oil and voted which was the best. She thought Greece was the best. I didn't try any but I pictured in my mind it was good. Next me and her tried some 4 in a row and we had a lot of fun! After that we went to paint our arms, Sari got a jelly donut and I got a menorah. A while later we took a picture in front of a background and it was cool. Later we saw spin art so we tried it out and it looked so cool! Then we played a lot of spin the dreidel and we won

NEWS FROM THE RIMON ZONE a Purim carnival. We dance, eat, and play games. We celebrate how Esther stood up for the Jewish people and defeated Hamen (BOO). We can make hamantaschen, which looks like Hamen’s hat. We can choose what we want to have inside of them. During Purim we dress up in costumes. We also watch the Purim spiel, which is a reenactment of what happened. We play games and win prizes that we can take home! The food and the games are my favorite part of the day! I am looking forward to celebrating and being able to experience Purim this year.
