Hanukkah Gift Swap
Each year at Hanukkah, our Jewish residents get together for a
celebration of this festival of lights. The evening includes the
lighting of the menorah, reciting the prayers, enjoying a dinner of
potato latkes with applesauce or sour cream, a friendly game of
dreidel, and the gift swap.
This year Michael Hackmeyer lit the menorah and led the reading of
the prayer with Dr. Bryan Efron. Before dinner was served, the group
shared memories of past Hanukkah celebrations with their families.
After dinner, Bryan organized a game of dreidel. After several spins,
the person left with the most “chips” in his pot was none other than
Bryan!
The evening concluded with the gift
swap. Linda Berkovich chose a talking alarm clock, Mike Hackmeyer
walked away with a fleece blanket, and Janet Hirsch’s gift was a
puzzle.
