Jews in the D

T

he halls of 
the Jewish 
News’ office in 
Southfield were decked 
out with beautiful hol-
iday artwork as 150 
children submitted their 
masterpieces for our 
annual Chanukah art 
contest. This year’
s crop 
of submissions was the 
most difficult to judge in 
years — so many worthy 
creations! It was tough, 
but we did it. 
However, there is 
still a chance for you to 
vote on your favorites. 
Go online to thejew-
ishnews.com and pick 
out your favorite entry 
through Sunday, Dec. 
22. Each of the top win-
ners will be announced 
in an upcoming issue 
and also receive $18. 
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 
a colorful masterpiece. 

She will be receiving 
$100.

ists will receive $18.
