For JDC’s annual Chanukah event, A Great Miracle Happened Here, we joined acclaimed chef and entrepreneur Fany Gerson — the Brooklyn-based author of the award-winning cookbook My Sweet Mexico — as she made a scrumptious Chanukah treat and led us through the festivities. Then, we heard directly from a teenage volunteer in Poltava who cares for two elderly Jews in her community and enjoyed holiday classics from Kyiv, Budapest, and Tel Aviv, along with a meaningful reflection from a young Jewish leader in London.
Watch A Great Miracle Happened Here and experience this global Chanukah celebration all over again.
