 Annual Hanukkah Party​

 

Dust off your menorahs. Loosen up your dreidel-spinning wrist. Dig out your killer latke recipe. Hanukkah is almost here. 

Once again, Karen and Ling Wong have graciously offered to host CSH's Hanukkah party on Sat., Dec. 20th, starting at

5:00 pm with a brief havdalah ceremony. In addition to the great company, delicious food, and traditional and not-

so-traditional Hanukkah games, Rabbi Cohen's alter ego, Professor Nehoc, will honor the magical miracle of Hanukkah by

regaling us with a magic show. He even promises that there are a few new tricks up his sleeve.

 

The food will be dairy- and vegetarian-friendly. Please let Karen know how many people are in your group and whether you want to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert.

Feel free to bring slippers or indoor shoes because we don’t wear shoes in the house. Thanks! 

 

Please RSVP to Karen_Wong@msn.com with the number of people in your party. We will send their address to those who RSVP that they are coming.

 

We hope to see you there!
