Jews in the D

he halls of
the Jewish

Southfield were decked
out with beautiful hol-
iday artwork as 150
children submitted their

most difficult to judge in
years — so many worthy

vote on your favorites.
Go online to thejew-

This year’
s artwork
will also be on dis-

play at Chanukah
Wonderland, Dec.
22-24 inside the former
Champ’
s restaurant,
7410 Orchard Lake Road
in West Bloomfield.
Our grand prize win-
ner this year comes
from Lucy Aguilar, age

10, who lives in West
Bloomfield, attends West
Hills Middle School
and religious school
at Congregation Beth
Ahm. Her 3D dreidel is
