On this sixth night of Hanukkah, we'd like to extend our very best wishes on this festival to you and all of your family.

As always, we would love to receive pictures of your kehillah's Hanukkah celebrations which we will use in our next newsletter. Please send your photos along  with a short description to Marcus Frieze (marcus@masortiolami.org) and we'll include the best in our Hanukkah global round-up to be published in Masorti Olami's January newsletter. 

Masorti Olami's annual Evening of Tribute took place two weeks ago in New York City. Almost 200 people attended the event to see Rabbi Vernon Kurtz, Hazzan Alisa Pomerantz-Boro and Dr Marilyn Wind receive their well deserved awards.
