Kislev is always an exciting month at Yeshiva Tiferes Moshe. Starting with Early Childhood Chanukah Mommy and Mes, continuing with menorah construction projects in the Early Childhood division and in Rabbi Lisker’s fifth grade, the anticipation and excitement was well worth the wait. The week of Chanukah was filled with many exciting events and treats sponsored by the yeshivah’s Parents Association. Every day of Chanukah had another treat for the talmidim, including light up Chanukah spinners, Chanukah Oodles, Chanukah putty, and of course donuts. A festive environment filled the building as the boys had many in class Chanukah parties arranged by their dedicated rebbeim and teachers. The eighth grade Chanukah fair was another exciting experience at the yeshivah. Additionally, each division had their own special mesibah. Mrs. Levine and the Early Childhood morahs had a division-wide Chanukah game in the main dining hall. Rabbi Ahron Bookson, assistant menahel, ran a mesibah for grades 1-4 with music, dancing, and of course raffles. The boys in grades 4-8 enjoyed grade-wide mesibahs with the Schnitzel Guys and Yossi Newman. As the boys departed yeshivah for Chanukah break, they went home with many special Chanukah memories.
