The Sweetest of Them All

Is honey really the best option to represent a "sweet" new year?
We made it our goal to find out
Perhaps chocolate syrup, peanut butter, or chocolate spread would be a better option?
Or maybe we have to think out of the box and try something like BBQ sauce?



Chocolate syrup was by far our favorite!


Although the chocolate spread came in a close second





Some boys even tried the mustard


But did not like the result :)

All in all we had a great time





That was finger licking good (pic was too cute resist)

Shopping Lists

Rosh Hashanah is a pretty hectic time and if the mommies are having a hard time putting their shopping list together, well, then all you have to do is ask your sons. They learnt about all the special things we eat on Rosh Hashanah. We even made our own list






Then we went shopping

 




Crossing off items as we went along!







Paid for it and off we went!

Fun with Food- Chai Elul Edition

Every Erev Shabbos we have a Fun with Food project. We create a project out of food. it is always something that has to do with a subject that we covered the previous week. 
This week we created two candles for the Alter Rebbe's birthday on Chai Elul. The Alter Rebbe's name was Shneur which means two light, because the Alter Rebbe illuminated both the open anad revealed parts of the Torah. 





Aleph Beis Center #1







Aleph for Ahavas Yisroel

In honor of Chai Elul we started our Chassidishe Aleph Beis Curriculum. Every Wednesday we learn a new Chassidishe concept based on the Aleph Beis. 
With Aleph came a very essential part of Chossid, Ahavas Yisroel. After discussing the idea of Ahavas Yisroel and how each of us have a piece of Hashem inside of us. We each got a chance to show our Ahavas Yisroel. Every boy decorated their very own heart. Morah then cut the hearts in half and we each received a complete heart, half which belonged to the one we decorated and the other half belonging to our friend. 



Exciting Project Coming Soon!
