[ahs_brownbox title=”Chanukah greetings from Cantor Beny Maissner”]
Dear Friends,
On the eve of our festival of lights, I greet you with joyful songs of hope and aspiration, for a year full of light ahead and a shiny future beyond.
The festival of light is about the conquest of goodness, freedom, and the victory of the few, against the forces of evil. Like in those days, BAYAMIM HAHEM BAZMAN HAZEH – we pray the light forces evil out of existence and prevails.
Enjoy CHANUKAH with the spirit of SONG, click here.

OSRUI camp in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin = URJ (formerly UAHC) camp; I attended in the early 1960s with three Jewish campers from Holy Blossom Temple: Does anyone know Jeff Levy or Robert Kirzner? I hope I remember their names correctly. We were friends at camp, and I would love to be in touch, 50+years later. Celebrated Havdalah with Neshama Carlbach and Josh@Limmud Chicago last year. I was national secretary of NFTY in 1965 and served at that time with (a then-college student) Rabbi Eric Yoffie. Would appreciate a response to my post. Thanks. Shalom and Happy Chanukah!
