A Dreidel Spree on Night Three

Eons ago, when I was in Sunday school, each student received a little wooden dreidel for Hanukkah. We’d spin it a bit, play a few rounds of the dreidel game and then take it home, presumably to provide entertainment during our Hanukkah celebration.

Episode Nineteen: 1st Day of Chanukkah, J-Care Holiday Package Delivery

In this episode, Aaron “The Schmoz” Herman attended the Shaare Zedek Medical Center Gala Event in New York City.
In celebration of Hanukkah we light the menorah together and give back to the community. We attended the Project Ezra holiday package delivery to elderly of the Lower East Side. Project Ezra is an independent, non-profit grass-roots organization serving the frail elderly on New York’s Lower East Side. We provide a variety of services to a largely homebound population. We are not a member of any Federation or umbrella organization. We do not seek or accept government funds and our existence depends on the tzedakah (justice impulse) of the community at large.
