Celebrate Hanukkah with The Forward at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan. On December 23 at 5 p.m., Yiddish Forward editor Rukhl Schaechter and JCC volunteer Susan Levin will light candles and help lead Yiddish Chanukah songs, followed by “pontshkes” (Yiddish for doughnuts) and other treats. Songsheets will be provided for the audience.

We’ve helped five generations of American Jews make sense of the news and the world around them — and we aren’t slowing down any time soon.
