Happy Hanukkah From Rego-Forest Preservation Council!
Wishing the members of Rego-Forest Preservation Council, our community, and all families and friends abound, a HAPPY HANUKKAH, and a miraculous season & beyond!!! ♥
Now enjoy a rare historic postcard treasure from the Jewish Soldiers Welfare Committee, which dates to 1942, and depicts why it truly is the Festival of Lights in the face of hard times....
Fast forwarding to 2010, if you like Taio Cruz' song "Dynamite," you will enjoy this humorous Hanukkah rendition, built upon a traditional foundation. It is called "Candlelight" by the Maccabeats:
