Hanukkah
This year Hanukkah begins at sundown on Sunday December 18. We wish all our readers a joyous “Festival of Lights” and hope that you enjoy lighting the candles, eating latkes, playing dreidel, and singing the many Hanukkah songs. Below is a selection of archived photos showing the spirit of the holiday. Happy Hanukkah!
