Through the study of texts, songs, and art, students think about the following questions:

  • What Chanukah stories (if any) do you think influence your celebration of the holiday?
  • What Chanukah story is being told by each of the texts? Is it one with which you are familiar?
  • Is there anything from any of the stories that you would want to incorporate into your celebration of Chanukah?
