Hanukkah workshop


Chabad of East Brunswick recently provided education about the holiday of Hanukkah the fun way, with an olive press. During a Dec. 21 workshop at ShopRite, participants pressed, pounded and pulverized real olives into fresh olive oil like the ancient Maccabees. Children were able to use the olive oil to light the menorah, and also got to eat traditional latkes, potato pancakes, and play with dreidels.
