Chanukah educational resource launched in memory of Rabbi Lord Sacks
An eight-part series called ‘Ceremony & Celebration’ includes writings from the late Jewish leader for each of the eight nights.
A new resource has been launched for Chanukah in memory of former Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks.
An eight-part series called ‘Ceremony & Celebration’ includes writings of the late Jewish leader, who died in November aged 72, for each of the eight nights.
It also includes games for children developed by his office together with Dr. Daniel Rose, educational consultant and content developer, as well as brain-teasers and fun facts about the festival of light.,
Rose said; “We have just marked the Shloshim [period of 30 days intense mourning] of Rabbi Sacks where much has been spoken about how we must collectively take forward his legacy and teachings.
“As part of the ‘Ceremony & Celebration’ series of educational resources, we are delighted to share with you the Chanukah edition. Written together with the Office of Rabbi Sacks, I hope this resource, which utilises Rabbi Sacks’ writings and teachings, is engaging for children of all ages and helps to do what he always felt was so important – to help the next generation cherish their Judaism and understand its relevance in today’s world.
“In what has been a dark year, may the Chanukah lights shine as bright as Rabbi Sacks’ legacy will for generations to come.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
