’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.”

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.
