From darkness to light! Chanukah is a very old Jewish festival commemorating the fall and destruction of the temple by the Greeks. Like many Jewish holidays, the theme is basically, "They tried to kill all of us, a few survived, let's eat". And eat we shall! Latkes, the traditional potato pancake will be featured as well as many other Eastern European delights.
We will light the menorah and then many dishes will be passed around the communal table, family style. Bring some friends and make some new friends!
Menu detail

Chanukah for Ashkenazi Jews is equated with the frying of latkes, the traditional pancake. And who does not love a fried potato dish of any kind?!
