The show comes every five years; every year, they meet for a summer pic- nic, a summer hot dog roast, Chanukah party and Purim party. The secret to a close family, Adele advised, is never hold a grudge. "Our parents taught us you don't stay angry at each other," she said. "Yes, we had fights and disagreements.
