Jewish: Hillel starts lighting menorah Dec. 7
Continued from page 4C
the state of
Israel that
stopped to tour
about six cities.
At each stop,
guests had the chance
to experience something about that
city’s life. In the Dead Sea, known for its
natural spas, guests received hand mas
sages; in Tsfat, a station was set up for can
dle-making. Students ate traditional Jewish
foods, such as latkas, which are also known
as potato pancakes, and listened to a
Klezmer band, called the Klezmernauts.
Program Director Andi Lipstein said the
Hillel will focus on various events to high
light Hanukkah, such as a menorah light
ing at the house during Finals Week that
will start Tuesday, the first night of
Hanukkah. The lighting will take place at
5 p.m. each night.
“People can bring their own menorah, or
they can come and light one of ours,” said
Lipstein.
The JSU and Hillel House are making a
niche for themselves by using their differ
ences to bring them together.
“The Jewish students are my friends and
family,” Scher said. “We’re always together
because it’s a familiar face.”

POTATO LATKES
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
1 tablespoon grated onion
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup peanut oil
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the potatoes in a cheesecloth and
wring, extracting as much moisture as possi
ble.
2. In a medium bowl, stir the potatoes,
onion, eggs, flour and salt together.
3. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over
medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot.
Place large spoonfuls of the potato mixture
into the hot oil, pressing down on them to
form 1/4 to 1/2 inch-thick patties. Brown
on one side, then turn and brown on the
other. Let drain on paper towels.
4. Serve hot with applesauce or sour cream.

HANUKKAH TRADITIONS
Menorahs: The menorah represents the Mac
cabees' victory over the Syrians when they re
turned to the sacked temple and lit a menorah for
eight days with only a small vessel of oil. During
Hanukkah, Jews light a specific nine-branched
menorah, called a hannukiah. Its nine candles
are also symbolic of the eight days of the
Hanukkah celebration; the ninth candle is used
to light a new candle each day.
Dreidels: The dreidel is a four-sided spinning top
with a Hebrew letter on each side. According to
legend, the dreidel became part of Hanukkah
when the study of the Torah was outlawed. Many
Jews continued to study in secret, using the drei
del game to hide their discussions of the Torah.
The dreidel game is now played by Jews during
the holiday. Most people play to win matchsticks,
pennies, M&M’s or chocolate coins.
Foods: It is traditional to eat fried foods during the
holiday because of the significance of the oil and
the menorah. Popular foods for this Jewish holiday
include fried potato pancakes, called latkes, and jel
ly- or custard-filled doughnuts, called Sufganiyot,
that are fried in oil and served hot, sprinkled with
powdered sugar.
