i was raised christian but i have always been interested in judaism. i've had a jewish friend for many years and loved participating in her traditions when i was younger. when i found out ag was making a jewish doll i thought it was really intriguing! i love rebecca and i love that ive learned so much about her religion and culture. this was the doll's and my first hanukkah and it was very exciting to celebrate with rebecca!
rebecca was very excited to celebrate with us and light the candles of the menorah each night and of course get little presents.
her favorite gift was the little russian nesting dolls
the dolls illustrate a russian folktale but i can't figure out what it is! if you know it please tell me!
we even ate traditional hanukkah food that had been fried in oil: potato pancakes and doughnuts
samantha loved playing dreidel with rebecca too.
i hope that you have had a wonderful and meaningful hanukkah if you celebrate it!!
Thank You, we have been having a wonderful Hanukkah, Lynsy was AG's first Jewish girl, so we are learning about it and celebrating the triplets holiday this year. I am glad that you are too ..
