TRADITIONS
Holiday IVaditions Begin
With TVaditions On Wheels*
Traditions On Wheels* has had a
successful beginning in the JCC
lobby. The Traditions On Wheels*
“Pushcart” was introduced to the
community to help celebrate Sukkot.
It appeared again to celebrate
Chanukah. It is exciting to see the
programs and comments that the
pushcart generates, but the significant
role of the Traditions On Wheels*
program is the compiling and distrib
ution of The Holiday Celebration
Guides. Each guide is filled with hol
iday facts and commentaries, chil
dren’s stories, recipes, helpful hints
for creating a Jewish holiday atmos
phere in your home, resource lists,
Jewish web site info, and more.
The Sukkot and Chanukah
Guidebooks are available at the JCC.
Please call Susan Jacobs, Programs
for Jewish Living Director, at 366-
5007, ext. 235.
Traditions On Wheels* notebooks
are available to help you organize
your guidebooks throughout the year.
Your notebook will become an
invaluable resource in your personal
Jewish library. Notet>ooks and
dividers can be purchased for $5.00 at
the front desk in the JCC lobby, or
from the pushcart when it is on display.
Please help support the Pushcart
and make sure you stop by to receive
guides for Tti B’shevat and Purim!
