December 10–In the run-up to Hanukkah children’s activities were held at the LJC. Twenty-two people, parents and children in the LJC Social Department’s Jewish Family Services program, took part.

During the activities parents helped their children and everyone learned how to make candles, an essential tribute of the Festival of Lights. The children seemed to enjoy handling the pliable wax which will light up the holiday this year at their homes. They were also told the Hanukkah story. After the candle-making and story the children were treated to traditional Hanukkah doughnuts. It was an enjoyable event in the run-up to the Hanukkah holidays.
