Chanukah in Boston in Israel

Abba and the kids (minus Noam) spent the first night of Chanukah 5771 with the Bostoner Rebbe of Yerushalayim at the Boston Shul in Har Nof. Elisheva watched from the Ezras Nashim

while the boys waited patiently in their seats

well....

they waited as patiently as they could for a while, but the Rebbe's Chanukah lighting takes about an hour from beginning to end. (I was very proud of them for lasting as long as they did).

Then, it was time to give out the sufganeot [jelly donuts] and Chanukah Gelt.

When we got home, we brought home a sufganiah for Ima, and we were treated to homemade pan pizza and Latkes.

Hope that everyone in the extended Gersten Family is enjoying a Chanukah Samayach.
