Chanukah postage stamps should
be available for purchase.

Shelli Liebman Dorfman

A

44-cent postage stamp cre-
ated for Chanukah last year
has been reissued for 2010
and should now be available locally.
The stamp, issued last October, was
designed by Carl T. Herrman of North
Las Vegas, Nev. The design features
a photo of a menorah with nine lit
candles designed by Lisa Regan of the
Garden Deva Sculpture Company in
Tulsa, Okla., and photographed by Ira
Wexler of Braddock Heights, Md.
The 2009 stamp is the third U.S.
issuance to commemorate the holiday,
following a stylized illustration of a
menorah issued in 1996 and an ornate
dreidel design in 2004.
Ronald Scheiman of Boynton Beach,
Fla., created the Quest for Annual
Hanukkah Stamps (www.hanuk-
kahstampquest.com) as a campaign
to have the U.S. Postal Service issue a
new and different Chanukah stamp

every year as he
says it does for
Christmas. But
on years when no
stamp is issued, he
said, "Post offices
will sell leftover
stamps if they
have any or order more stamps if they,
individually, decide to do so."
Adamant about having the stamps
supplied, he said, "If [they] are not avail-
able at your post office and they tell you,
`It's last year's and we don't have any left,
or 'We ran out and didn't reorder any
more or any other reason for not hav-
ing the stamp available, please let me
know. Send me that information includ-
ing the town name and zip code of the
post office to hanukkah@att.net: '
Looking to make Chanukah stamps
more widely used, he said, "Even
though there has been a stamp avail-
able every year since 1996, I still meet
people who do not know there is a U.S.
[Chanukah] stamp." ❑

haring recipes with family
and friends can warrant a
nice "thank you:' but shar-
ing them with Manischewitz can
bring a $25,000 prize package. The
fifth annual Man-O-Manischewitz
Cook-Off is offering that reward to
a home chef for a family-friendly
recipe incorporating the new
Manischewitz All-Natural broths.
Five finalists will win an all-
expense-paid trip to New York City to
compete live on March 31, 2011, for
the prize package, which includes cash
and GE Profile kitchen appliances.
A panel of judges will include food
media and other culinary experts.
For the second consecutive year,
Chef Jacques Pepin, television cook-
ing series host, cookbook author and
a founder of the American Institute

of Wine and Food — will be the
celebrity guest of honor and the
event's emcee and head judge.
"I am thrilled to be a part of the
5th Annual Manischewitz Cook-Off:'
Pepin said. "I always encourage peo-
ple to experiment with new types
of ethnic cuisines and products. It
is important for families to enjoy
meals together and creating great
family recipes helps to grow that
experience."
U.S. residents 18 or older may
submit an original, easy-to-prepare
entree that can be prepared and
cooked in one hour or less — using
a total of no more than eight ingre-
dients. It must include any flavor of
the new Manischewitz All-Natural
