Educational resources about Chanukah and over 1,000 Chanukah videos

 Hi Everyone!

Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is observed for 

eight days, beginning on the evening of the 25th day of 

the Hebrew month of Kislev. This year Chanukah starts 

Sunday night, November 28, 2021.

Chanukah is a wonderful holiday of renewed dedication, 

faith, hope and spiritual light. It's a holiday that says: 

"Never lose hope." Chanukah commemorates the victory of a 

small band of Maccabees over the pagan Syrian-Greeks who 

ruled over Israel. 

The Chanukah Page includes lesson sites in several languages, 

videos, songs, Chanukah trivia quiz, English Hebrew vocabulary lists, 

recipes, games, humor, photos, clipart, coloring pages and 

a map of the sites of the Maccabees 166-161 BCE.

The address is:

https://jr.co.il/hotsites/chanukah.htm

The Chanukah Video Page has links to over 1,000

cool Chanukah videos:

https://jr.co.il/videos/chanukah-videos.htm

The video page will be updated as we get closer to Chanukah. 

Suggestions for new video additions are welcome.

The Chanukah humor section has 97 items that will make you smile.

I added new photos to the Chanukah Gallery at:

Please share these holiday resources. Thank You!

Have a Good Week!

Shavua Tov!

My Jewish Games is Back! including smartphones!

 

Hi Everyone!

My Jewish Games is Back!

https://my-jewish-games.com/index.html

In 2010, I launched My Jewish Games based on the Flash langauge.

In December 2020, Adobe closed down support for Flash in all browsers.

Today, I installed a Flash emulator on my website and the

games now work without Flash support.

On the new platform, the games also work on smartphones.

The four games on the site include:

The Language Match Game - English and Hebrew

Word Search - currently only English

Hebrew Hangman

The Israel Geography Game - English

Enjoy!

Feedback is welcome.

Please share. Thank you.

Have a good night,
