SAJ's Hanukah's Party was a Big Success

Saturday's SAJ Hanukah Party gathered 80 people together for fun and festivities.

The Sing-A-Long was spirited, and the Latke Hamantashen debate by Rabbi Strassfeld and Gidon Isaacs gave new meaning to this traditional battle. Special thanks to the contestants in the Latke Contest: Donna Gitter, Gail Halaban, Anne Grossman, Mitchell Gross, Debbie Rand, Ginny Gitter and team of Micah Arbisser and Bryan Sloane. There was also a surprise entry by Donna Lindemann of hamantashen. All guests at the party sampled the latkes and voted for their favorite. Then, celebrity judges, Wendy Gaynor, Cantor Lisa Arbisser and Michael Zorek gave their comments on the fried treats.

Children made beeswax candles, played dreidel, ate munchkins and enjoyed the festive spirit of Hanukah!

Special thanks to everyone who helped in the kitchen.
