In 2019, Chanukkah begins at sundown on Sunday, December 22nd.
We celebrate Chanukkah like at Korczaks Dom Sierot by lighting the menorah, each night we light one additional candle.
Jewish holiday observances – including High Holiday services and Chanukah and Purim celebrations – were a natural part of life at Dom Sierot. Korczak offered the children the opportunity to study Hebrew and the siddur and set aside the room at the orphanage specifically for Jewish prayer where, if a child was saying kaddish, Korczak was known to don a yarmulke and recite the prayer along with him.
