’Tis the Season for Massive Dreidels
Chabad of Greater Somerset County can’t be bothered with any “little dreidels.”
The New Jersey Jewish center has just completed construction of its 18-footer, which sits in front of the center’s building, near the road. The structure, which is making its 11th annual appearance, doubles as a playhouse that children can enter.
“Menorahs are done a lot,” said Rabbi Yitzchok Moully, the center’s youth director. The dreidel “is part of the landscape. We’ve received a lot of warm feedback throughout the years.”

And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
