CHUNNUKAH

Channukah is observed for eight days, beginning with the 25th day of Kislev in the Jewish calendar. It commemorates the historic victory of the Maccabeans following a three year long uprising against the Assyrian-Greek regime and their Jewish Hellinistic supporters, who conspired to impose restrictions against Jewish religious practices and values.
For many people around the world, Chanukah is probably one of the best known Jewish holidays, not because of any great religious significance, but because of its proximity to Christmas.

GAN YISRAEL CAMP

Gan Yisrael Day Camp is a household name in the Cape Town Jewish community and part of the largest and fastest growing network of Jewish day camps in the world.
Gan Yisrael enjoys a well-earned reputation as a trendsetter, with innovative ideas, creative programs and new activities. The Simcha team joined the kids at camp, learning firsthand how to make olive oil as well as their own menorah that they can use during the Chanukah festival.
