Passport to Israel
A lottery is held each year on Purim. The first prize is a trip for two to Israel or $4,000 in Israeli bonds. Second prize is $360, and third prize $180.
Hanukah
A 10' high by 40' wide Hanukiyyah is installed each Hanukah season on the Ellet Street lawn of the Centre. It was designed by Hy Zelkowitz and built by the Men's Club and children from the religious school. A new candle is lit every night of Hanukah. The first night’s lighting is accompanied by a latka-thon, storytelling, songs by the GJC choir, sufganiot (jelly donuts), and Israeli dancing. Funds are raised by candle dedications in honor of special events and/or people. |
