LatkePalooza! 2011 - Trailer for the soon to be released movie!
LatkePalooza started about a dozen or so years ago when Zach Lipner decided that with the help of one of his friends he'd make latkes at Hanuka for the entire shul.  It's grown into the biggest holiday event at Bnai Keshet this side of Kol Nidre. To the singers and the dancers and the story-tellers and the olive oil folks, and the folks who made and brought kugels, and the folks who helped clean up at the end...thank you. Thank you. It wouldn't have happened with out your being part of making our community the special place that it is.  And a special thanks to the kitchen crew who started grating, slicing, mixing and frying mid-afternoon.  It takes a lot more work these days to turn 250 pounds of potatoes into latkes, and these are the folks who did it for you:
