“It’s true…Christians don’t typically celebrate Hanukkah, but our family celebrated our 1st Hanukkah this year, with a twist!”
I spent two years working in a Jewish preschool and I experienced more growth and understanding of Christianity than I had my entire life of going to church (and as a child I was in church at least twice a week).
I received a two year history lesson of the Old Testament; albeit on a preschool level, which was probably best. I spent those years sitting criss-cross applesauce singing songs, gobbling down traditional Jewish foods (Matzo Ball soup is ONE of my favorites), and going to Shabbat each Friday, all while getting a pretty good understanding of the Biblical Feasts, that are often referred to as Jewish holidays.
