Did you enjoy Latkes for Hanukkah? Did you also have isfengs for Hanukkah?
If you have no idea that an isfeng is a crispy doughnut treat that Sephardic Jews enjoy for Hanukkah, it’s time to learn that there are many Jewish customs, traditions, and foods not only those that come from Eastern Europe.
The Adult Jewish Education Committee will make it easy for you to learn that other Jewish cultures are alive and thriving in this world!
