Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,

his season we put a spin on some
of your favorite Chanuka tradi-
tions. The dreidel is no longer just
for play. It is a hot collectible. In
the article "Dreidel Craze," writer Adam
Katz-Stone interviews some national Judaica
artists whose designs are available locally.
If you want to be your own dreidel artist,
note our cover from the book Jewish Holiday Style. (For more
information about Jewish Holiday Style, consult last week's gift
guide.) Cut-out paper dreidels can be a fun family project this
season.
For another twist this year, add zucchini, apples and even
rice to turn those potato pancakes into a gourmet
dish. Our expert food writer, Annabel Cohen,
.4,
has added some spice to your classic potato latke
recipe in the article "A Latke By Any Other
Name." Yes, this is the year to forget the
schmaltz.
On the subject of food, we feature a new cook-
book Foie Gras ... A Passion by Michael Ginor.
Ginor is a former Wall Street executive who has opened a
restaurant in New York and in Eilat, Israel. Incidentally,
kosher foie gras is popular in Israel.
With the last Chanuka of the century approaching, I
believe it is fitting to document some cherished memo-
ries. Apple Tree Editor Elizabeth Applebaum teaches us how
to make a memory book not just for Chanuka but for
Shabbat, Rosh HaShana and all important holidays. Our
ancestors will be able to reiterate the traditional Chanuka
phrase, "A great miracle happened there."
