Released Time: Not Just an Hour on Wednesday
During Chanukah, the tireless and dedicated Released Time instructors visits the homes of their students, bringing the joy and beauty of Chanukah not just to the students who attend their classes but to their entire family. In total, more than 700 families were visited.
At the children’s homes, they helped the families light the Menorah and play Dreidel, shared doughnuts and gave out Chanukah gelt – real and chocolate! One child, Erika, was heard telling her mother “These doughnuts are so good and they’re kosher! Let’s eat only kosher!”
The bochurim also took the opportunity to put up Mezuzos, sponsored by Released Time, in many of the homes.
These visits greatly touched each one of the families. As one parent so aptly put it: “Your visit made our holiday!”
The family visits are a further step in forming a bond between the families of the Released Time children and their instructors, a further step in strengthening the connection of not just the child but rather the entire family to Yidishkeit.
