Synagogues, Schools Plan Full
Schedule of Hanukah Activities
The season for which chil-
dren — and adults — have anxi-
ously been awaiting all year is
but a week away. Hanukah, the
holiday perhaps permeated
more than any other with the
warmth of Jewish comradeship,
will begin on the evening of
Dec. 25 with the lighting of the
first candle, and end Jan. 2
with the lighting of the last..
In celebration of this festive
week, the community's various
religious organizations are plan-
ning a full program of appro-
priate activities.
The Adas Shalom Synagogue
has started its holiday ball roll-
ing alrea,dy with its first annual
