Montreal 17 Celebrates Hanukkah

The Wexner Heritage Program Montreal 17 Members held their first annual family Chanukah party.  This was our opportunity to meet each other’s children and families and enjoy Chanukah together.  After our fall session of learning, we have come together as a group in friendship and in leadership.  For our Chanukah celebration, we all purchased new clothes to be donated to the local Jewish women's shelter and we were so happy and proud to share this act of chesed with our children.  We look forward to celebrating many special occasions together in the future.
