Dear Hevreh,
Yesterday, our community celebrated the Festival of Lights in style with latkes, doughnuts, lighting of candles...and magic! A fun and engaging magician, the Great Scott, made us laugh and left us amazed with his sleights of hand and knowledge of the magical arts.

One family is already planning on coming to the Hanukkah party and another expressed great interest in our Hebrew School program called Project Jewish Living. We will be following up with the families in the next couple of days, but most importantly we provided them with a positive Jewish experience that[...]
