Today,
Jewish families celebrate by lighting a special candelabra, called a Menorah.
The holiday begins the first day by lighting the first candle. A "servant"
candle is also lit each night and used to to light the other candles. Each
evening an additional candle is burned until all eight candles are burning
together.
We learned about the Menorah and made our own mixed media
Menorah art project. I used a pattern from the December Idea Book (by Teacher's
Friend) and traced the menorah shape onto heavy card stock. We covered it in
foil. The candles are colored and the flames are torn bits of tissue paper.
