Celebrating Hanukkah



Brehm students, who wished to do so, celebrated Hanukkah recently.

Students enjoyed lighting the candles, eating latkes with applesauce, gelts and playing with dreidels.

"I had a great time at our first Brehm Crazy Night for Hanukkah," said Pam Altman, supervisor of boarding services. "We even had a few non-Jewish students in attendance, and together we tried to learn a bit about the Jewish rituals."

Making this celebration possible were:
  • Vicki Fox, who came up with the idea for the celebration and donated candies.
  • Sherri Laurens, who donated the Menorah, dreidels and glow sticks.
  • Elizabeth Jacobs, who donated the latkes and applesauce and the Happy Hanukkah sign, napkins and plates.
  • Craig Wielansky, who donated chocolate gelts.
  • Jennifer Deare, who donated money to be used for the festivities.
