Description
Christmas Around the World: Israel and Hanukkah is part of a Christmas Around the World series that is available on Music Educator Resources.
In Israel, Christmas Day is not a public holiday. The Jewish population celebrate Hanukkah and some small Christian communities (such as Israeli Arab Christians in Bethlehem and Nazareth) celebrate Christmas. This resource explains the differences between the holidays and how each (Jews and Christians) would celebrate their holiday, etc.
This is not a lesson plan but an informational resource for students to learn from. It includes both a PowerPoint and narrated mp4 file.
***Please note*** If you are interested in holding a Christmas music camp or group lesson that will include a lesson plan and musical activities, then check out the Christmas Around the World Camp Workshop Bundle. This bundle includes all the countries, the coloring book and lesson plan activities!
Christmas Around the World is perfect to use in a group lesson, camp, or a classroom setting to show during a Christmas around the world unit. The narrated movie file is perfect to use in music lab or station settings, for voice rest or for a sub!
Other countries you may be interested in checking out are:
- Christmas Around the World: Africa/Kwanzaa

awesome resource

Thanks Lori!

I thought you did a great job providing enough information on Israel. I am going to have kids research each country and every child does not have access to a computer. This is a great resource. I plan on buying more of your products. I think if you could, a great resource would be to include a recipe from each country. I loved it. Thanks
Jennifer Foxx –
Thanks Anna, I like the recipe idea too! 🙂
