Celebrating Chanukah together

Students from Naima JPS school in London celebrated Chanukah via Skype with underprivileged students from Meir Panim After School Club in Or Akivah.
The students sang Chanukah songs, lit the candles and danced together. One of Naima's students, who volunteered in the summer at one of Meir Panim's soup kitchens in Israel, shared his experience with his class mates.

Ilanit, the Club coordinator, says:" The children felt so special to be part of such an initiative. They were very touched that their English friends were dressed formally for the occasion and were all expressing their hopes for a closer relationship. In short, they left the event in very high spirits."
