HAPPY CHANUKAH

 

 

 

I lit my candles last night, the third night using the Chanukah menorah Bernice gave me. 

 

 

  the back of the photo has a handwritten note, "making latkes Chanukah, 1998, that's a fake frown"  :-)

 

ARCH OF TITUS, ROME, 70 AD

Bernice told me Roby really liked this image. You can go to Rome today and see it. It commemorates the Destruction of the Temple of Solomon and shows the plunder of ritual objects such as the golden menorah in the Temple. We are still here lighting our own menorahs or chanukiyyot in hebrew :-)
