On Nov. 13, just days after the presiden- tial election, political commentator Jack Lessenberry spoke to an overflow crowd at Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park about the election, saying that not since the Dewey vs. Truman election more than 60 years ago did the media get it so wrong. Lessenberry, head of Wayne State University’s journalism department, pre- dicted Trump will roll back regulations on businesses and that the Affordable Care Act won’t be repealed immediately. More than any election in our lifetime, he said, we really don’t know what else will happen. 1-800-HAGOPIAN ( 424-6742 ) www.OriginalHagopian.com Book Online Today! )"%%$% )"%%&#"#& #+# +!'+*!&%+%+ #!# 2078600 32 December 1 • 2016 Chanukah songs, Chef Cari and her food truck and beeswax candle making sponsored by Hazon.

The event was sponsored by the Temple Emanu-El Adult Education Committee. *
