is a tradition at Congregation
Shaarey Zedek Beth Hayeled
Southfield: Several times a
year, senior citizens who live
at Southfield's Elan Village are invit-
ed to share in the children's holiday
celebrations.
On Dec. 16, the occasion was the
last day of Chanukah. The children,
their parents, teachers and special
guests feasted on cookies, made by the
preschoolers, along with the traditional
sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts) and latkes
with applesauce. Lisa Soble Siegmann,
director of Jewish Experiences For
Families, led the group in singing.
Sarah Cohen, 4, of Franklin, works on
her miracle box. Each box is exactly the
right size for a Chanukah's worth of
candles.
"We had a wonderful time," said
Karen Cohen of Franklin. "It was great
to have the visitors."
Despite the expanded Chanukah
song list, Cohen said her daughter,
Sarah, still loves "I Have A Little
Dreidel" best of all.
