Very helpful and useful!
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me teach the story of Chanukah to my young students. It was fun, it was scary, and best of all-informative.

Thank you actors, teachers and chabad.org!

Wonderful
What a beautiful play.
I showed to it my 3rd and 4th grade classes and they loved it.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

Adorable!
Just one thing. I don't think it's a minhag (custom) to give gifts. You're supposed to give chanukah gelt.(money) You should know this. The Rebbe never gave gifts. The gifts business is because of something else which takes place around the same time of year, if you know what I mean.
