The Third and Fourth Grade boys at HALB went to the Sephardic Congregation of Long Beach to recite Hallel on the last day of Chanukah. The morning was extra special because the Sephardic Congregation of Long Beach is the shul that HALB Principal Mr. Altabe and HALB Executive Director Mrs. Mittan grew up in, and both families were founding members.

The boys learned about the halachos of Chanukah and about the special Sephardic heritage of the Long Beach community. They then had a gala breakfast where Mr. Altabe shared memories from his childhood and HALB’s founding in Long Beach.
