Chanukah 2005 falls entirely in Winter Break, as the first candle is lit on December 25th. However, Chanukah is beloved to us and we love to celebrate so we had several Pre-Chanukah events...

12/7: Hot Latke Table at Campus Center

12/8: LatkeFest '05: First-Ever Latke Eating Contest at UAlbany

UAlbany Alumnus arranges for Menorah aboard USS Ford

Menorahs and Candles?
If you need Menorahs and/or Chanukah candles, give us a call or stop by. A limited number are available.

Area Chanukah Events
