Cathy’s Whim – Happy Chanukah

Cathy’s Whim – Happy Chanukah

On Sunday, November 28th, many of you will gather around the menorah with family and friends to light a candle for the first night of Chanukah. This year will be extra special as we reconnect with those we were unable to celebrate with last year.

Whether you enjoy your latkes with sour cream or applesauce, or prefer sufganiyot or gelt, I wish you much warmth, light, and happiness this Chanukah season.

As a special treat, you can click here to view The Latkepalooza! Cookbook, which showcases eight delicious latke recipes – one for each night.

Hopefully, many of you received our email notification with that information and were able to take part in the briefing.

Cabin Fever Relief
Cathy Gardner

It’s hard to believe that in just five weeks, Spring will officially be here. The weather over the past month has been, well, let’s just say, interesting. I’m a big fan of snow, but I know I’m probably an exception to the rule. Between the snow and bitter cold temperatures, I’m sure cabin fever has set in for some people. The good news is temperatures are finally in a much more acceptable range, and the snow is slowly melting. If you are ready to get out of the house, the JCC has two events coming up that may be of...
