Hey there, boys and girls! Welcome back to the Parsha Studio – Special Edition: Chanukah Pastry Art.
Chanukah! The holiday, celebrating many miracles can teach us a lesson about standing strong and true to one’s beliefs.
Doing the right thing is always challenging, especially when standing alone. During Chanukah, young children who were learning the Torah faced immense challenges. They had to hide in caves to avoid being caught by the Greeks and were in constant danger. However, they did not let this deter them from their goal of learning the Torah. They devised an ingenious plan to keep a dreidel with them at all times, which helped them avoid detection. The bravery and determination of these young children serve as an inspiration to us all. It shows that even in the most difficult of circumstances, we can find the courage to do what is right.
Today, we’re going to bake the coolest 3D dreidel cookie, and it’s going to be so much fun! You can sing along with me, “Oh, dreidel dreidel dreidel, I made you out of dough. When you’re shaped and ready, in the oven you’ll go.” Not only will you get a delicious treat out of it, but you’ll also learn some cool building skills while making the 3D dreidel. These cookies can be used to add some charm to your Chanukah table or as a fun, quick dreidel game. So, let’s get started and have some fun!
