Hands up for Chanukah!

During a recent lesson at Temple Beth Israel preschool, Cantor Paul Buch and Rabbi Jonathan Kupetz ask the students which menorah candle is lit on the last day of Chanukah. The eight-day Jewish celebration—the Festival of Lights—will end Monday, 12/30. The COURIER staff wants to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season. We will be off this week and return Monday, 12/30 ready cover local news in Claremont for our 112th year. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
