Eleven years after Mom s death, I ve carried on her tradition with my husband, daughter and an extended family of friends. I adhere to Mom s favorite menu, culminating in brownies with whipped cream, strawberries and an array of ice cream flavors as if she owned a Baskin-Robbins franchise. She d hide a serving of whipped cream in the fridge, a spoonful for my morning coffee.
My mom merged family from New York and Atlanta into her Florida apartment. It was more important to have 100% attendance than to adhere to a Hebrew calendar.
BELOITâThe meaning and historical significance in celebrating the holidays this year is especially profound, local Jewish community leaders say, as their congregation has stayed in touch online.
Rabbi Shlomo Wing of Congregation BâNai Abraham said in some ways, the Jewish community feels more connected than ever before.
âThereâs a lot of themes that kind of tie together,â Wing said, adding Hanukkah is usually celebrated at home. âSo in a lot of ways weâre doing something different by reaching out to people for a Zoom Hanukkah.â
Hanukkah is an eight-day commemoration of rededicating the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of limited oil that burned for eight days, Wing said. Families celebrate by lighting each candle of a menorah.
