Rebecca Hazan loves helping
light the family's Chanukah
menorah. It's Lucite and features
a hand-painted picture of each
family member and his or her
name.
Rebecca's mom, Julie, always
makes a nice Chanukah dinner,
with lots of latkes. Each night
there's a little gift or a treat after
dinner.
"We like it to feel like it's
Chanukah throughout the whole
holiday, but we don't want it to
be a huge gift orgy," explains
Julie. "Sometimes the gift is a
book; other times it might be a
dreidel filled with candy."
All of the Hazan children help
make decorations for their home,
and they hang a big dreidel over
their dining room table. A spe-
cial tradition for the family is an
annual pilgrimage to Toronto,
where Stan's parents, brothers
and sisters and their children all
live (the 17th cousin was just
born). Stan's family, natives of
Morocco, are Sephardic, and
while the family enjoys many
native Middle Eastern dishes,
there was not a traditional dish
for Chanukah. "They have
adopted Ashkenazic foods, like
latkes and applesauce," explains
Julie. They get together for a
large Chanukah party, eat, light
menorahs and play dreidel
games with either chocolate gelt
or pennies.
Back in Huntington Woods,
they always get together with
other families for a gift exchange.
"We all bring our own menorahs,
and each family lights its own,"
says Julie.
Last year, Jamie discovered
the joy of giving during the holi-
day. "Jamie is always thinking of
us," says Julie. "He spent every
day of Chanukah making special
homemade cards for us each
night. He used glitter, glue and
construction paper.
"A lot of energy and love went
into them. It was really spe-
cial." ❑
