The annual shul Hanukkah party is jam-packed with fun stuff to see, to do and, of course, to eat. Let’s get to the major question right here at the get-go: Will there be latkes? You bet. Chef Deborah Pittorino has promised 300-400 latkes for the party. And that ain’t all.

Also on the menu: jelly-filled doughnuts (sufganiot), hot cider, coffee, tea and cold drinks, plus applesauce and sour cream for the latkes.

What else? Thanks to the hard work of Madelyn Rothman, Roberta Garris and Nina Neimark, we will have a Silent Auction — a hybrid event for the first time (if we can get the technology right) with a whole roster of new offerings that include some “life experiences” that you can share with friends. No hints. Everybody will get the news at the same time to keep the bidding fair. More information to come — when the Silent Auction will launch and how it will work.

And there’s more… You may have heard rumors about a film — a short presentation about the history and current activities at our shul, presented by members of the congregation. Alley Leinwebber of Brightwood Productions has interviewed our people, and is in the process of editing the material before the final cut is made. The big news is that Alley is planning to have the short film ready for viewing at the Hanukkah event. We’ll lower the screen in the community room, and cheer on our film stars as they talk about the shul. No hints. Come and see.

Of course, it all starts at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 10, in Mitchell Park, when we will light the public menorah, recite the traditional prayers and sing the traditional songs before heading back to the shul and the hundreds of hot latkes — plus schmoozing, holiday music, and all of the above — awaiting our arrival.

Wow! How’s that for a fun-filled night? Told ya. It ain’t just latkes.

And by the way…
