Chanukah -- the holiday of religious freedom -- is especially sweet for Jews throughout the former Communist bloc countries. Young and old celebrate by lighting the menorah as part of a Jewish renaissance fueled by their desire to reconnect with their heritage and rekindled by the programs of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).

Activities of the JDC are primarily funded by the UJA Federation campaign of the United Jewish Communities. Photo credit: JDC
