JNF UK have announced winners of the ‘Design your Dreidel’ 2022 competition.

Sophie Reuben, from Bury and Whitefield Primary School in Manchester, won the 3–5 year old age category and was crowned the overall winner of the competition.

Four-year-old Sophie’s dreidel design made of biscuits caught the eye of the judging panel.

Sophie won a £50 Amazon voucher, £10 doughnut voucher, framed photograph of her dreidel design and £250 for her school for Israel education purposes.

Congratulations also go to the first-place winners Elleni Shane from the 6-8 age group and Summer Wise from the 9-11 age group category.

Worthy runners include Jonah Levene from the 3-5 category, Netta Tzion Goodman from the 6-8 age group category and Ella Cohen from the 9-11 age group category.

JNF UK spokesperson commented, “We have been blown away by the number of children who entered our competition.

“Chanukah for JNF UK means shining a light on the children we support across Israel’s periphery, to ensure no one is left behind.”

JNF’s initiative was launched before Chanukah for children aged 3–11 years old.

Nineteen Jewish Primary Schools across the UK took part. Each child was provided with a Dreidel template to personalise. They also had to write a sentence on what Chanukah means to them.

Entries flooded in with children providing a picture of their template and holding their 3D design.

Chanukah fun is available on JNf’s website: www.jnf.co.Uk/Chanukah-2022
