Chanukkah At Amica: My Recount

Around 12:30PM I got in my mom’s car and we drove to AMICA. Amica is close to the Ottawa Public library on Carling, it wasn’t very far from my house.  In the car I was very excited and a little bit nervous.It was in December on a cold day.

 

When my mom and I got there we started getting set up. We only put the table in the middle and put everything on the stage. After that I went outside to wait for Orly. When she got there she was with her dad. Her dad left after 1 minute or 2 later. Orly came inside with me ( we were a little bit scared but very excited!) We finished getting set up and started waiting for residents to show up. One after another they came to my bubby came first of course. 

 

When the residents arrived we gave them a dreidel for a present. They loved it. We did a speech on Chanukkah and then sang songs, For example the dreidel song. After that we taught all the residents the letters on the dreidel and we played! Orly and I played with one of the members which was very fun. We let them keep the dreidel and we gave them gelt. Everyone was so happy even though they were wearing masks. We saw it in their eyes.

 

 After all that I was so sad because it was time for me to leave so Orly and I  said goodbye and we started to clean up. Orly Got picked up and I said goodbye. Finally my mom and I got into the car and drove home.  It turned out to be a very memorable  Chanukkah

    Hi Starielle,

    I remember when you organized the Chanukkah event last year at Amica. I loved reading your recount of this special day. The residents of Amica were fortunate to have such a wonderful Chanukkah experience with you and Orly. Will you organize another Chanukkah event this year?

    Mrs. Bennett 🙂
