Happy Chanukah! Face painting for the jewish committee at Manasseh Meyer

Recently, we had the honor of popping by Oxley for the Manasseh Meyer's jewish community sch's annual fund raiser and Chanukah party.

On a personal note, it was nice being exposed to a jewish celebration and witness their culture. What's more to put a smile on the faces of their children. We would love to be back soon.

Special thanks to Bianca and Stephanie for inviting us.
















































































We also got to play dreidels in addition to painting a color custom design on the kids faces :)
Driedels are a four-sided spinning top, played with during the Jewish holiday of Chanukkah.

Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet: נ (Nun), ג (Gimel), ה (Hei), ש (Shin), which together form the acronym for "נס גדול היה שם" (Nes Gadol Hayah Sham – "a great miracle happened there").
