C

hanukah is our favorite time of year at the JN. Each day
during our contest when the mail comes, we have people
eager to open those manila envelopes and see what’s inside.
Toward the end of our contest, we get the artwork from students at
Hillel and Farber day schools — and then it’s time to vote. Always a
hard choice!
You’ll get the chance to choose your favorite, too. Head to
Chanukah Wonderland at the Orchard Mall Thursday, Dec. 6, to
vote for your favorite among the top online vote-getters.
Here are our favorites from this year. Our grand-prize winner
gets $100. Everyone else gets $18. Mazel tov to all who entered.
