CHANUKAH

T

he Detroit Jewish News received so many beautiful and creative
submissions for our cover art contest that it was hard to choose a
winner. However, Emily Miller’s submission did stand out, not only
because it’s beautifully drawn (which it is!) but because of the feeling of
family and warmth her drawing evoked. That’s what holidays are about —
family — and we think she illustrated that sentiment so well. We’re glad to
have it as our cover.
Emily is 12 and lives in Birmingham. She is a seventh-
grader at Hillel Day School in Farmington Hills and said she
likes “drawing in general.
”
She set out to combine several smaller elements into her
drawing. “I included the Torah to represent Judaism,
” she
said. “My aunt recently had a baby, so I wanted to incorporate
something about generations,
” she said of the clasped hands.
“I also love the way the light of the menorah shines on your face,
” she
said. “Then I used the Jewish star to combine all the drawings.
”
Emily will receive $100, which she said she plans to save.
All of the other winners of our contest will receive $18. We thank every-
one for participating. We have an online gallery of all entries for you to
look at on thejewishnews.com.
Happy Chanukah from everyone at the JN.

May light and love fi
ll your holidays.
Chag Sameach!
