I wanted to share this.In doing some research I have looked into the biblical holidays that the Jewish people were commanded to keep.There is so much to learn by studying the whys,whens,how and the fullfillment of these.This year my girls and I decided to have sort of a mini celebration of them and learn about the fulfillment of Jesus in them.We did a few that were just memorials.Such as Channakah etc.But we know Jesus celebrated this holiday as he was on the porch:
John 10:22-23
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
(KJV)
And he fullifilled Jewish law as he was raised a Jew.
Some feel that we are commanded to still celebrate these.Some feel they are not all fullfilled.I personally think they are worth studying and discussing.
The girls love Chanakah as we gave each other little gifts and ate chocolate gold coins.We lit candles and read the biblical passages about Jesus being the true light of the world.As this is the feast of dedication.So we rededicated our bodies as temples of God.It was really fun and the girls learned alot.In fact they were begging to hurry up so we could talk about it each evening at sundown.My husband called me at work because the youngest was crying that on one of the nights I had to work and she wanted to do Chanakah and he did not know how I was doing it all.She really wanted to play games I think.
The next thing we did was talk about Esther and purim.But i will have to say this was not to much to do.
The next thing we discussed was Passover.Since we have communion at church at this time we studied it there.
There is a book available that has activities at a sight called

I have not purchased it myself yet but I will because I feel our sunday school children could benefit by learning more bible.
