Happy Online Hanukkah
Frying latkes or sufganiyot is as much a part of Hanukkah as lighting the menorah. But one cannot live by potato pancakes or Israeli doughnuts alone. We found kosher noshes of all kinds in abundance, from babka to brisket. While you are making memories with the little Maccabees, you can heat up some heavenly hors d'oeuvres or point the dreidel mavens toward some gourmet chocolates.
