Chanukah is coming to a close

Well, were wrapping up a very exciting Chanukah, and i just wanted to share a few recaps for anybody that missed out.

Last sunday we hosted our first Chanukah party in Kearney and it was a blast. The kids played Dreidel, the women danced, and the Men upped the ante a bit with a dreidel for charity tournament! Congratulations to Kevin Balter on winning that!

On tuesday, Laila and I went over to the kearney public school early education program to teach the kids (and their teachers) a little bit about Chanukah. They were very grateful and the kids loved making dreidels and designing their own sufganyot!

Here are some videos from those two events, Enjoy!

A brighter future

Our hearts go out to the families of those murdered in the elementary school shooting. It's a horrible reminder of just how much the world needs to be repaired. My prayers are with the injured victims fir a speedy recovery, and the whole world for its speedy redemption from atrocities such as this, and the pain that accompanies them.
Wishing everone a good Shobbos. Remember to light the Chanukah menorah, we need all the light we can get.

(Tonight is the seventh night of Chanukah.)

Chanukah Party

I'm excited to announce that this Sunday we'll be hosting our first Chanukah party in Kearney!
At 4:30 we'll be rockin' to the best old school and new Chanukah tunes around, at the Grandview apartments clubhouse! There'll be latkes, sufganiot, wine, beer, and a grand Dreidel tournament!

We're looking forward to seeing you all there!

Happy Chanukah!
