Much of the Duke Jewish community gathered Wednesday night at the Brodhead Center to celebrate Latkapalooza, held on the fourth day of Hanukkah. Organized by the Duke Jewish Student Union, the event served up Hanukkah treats including latkes, a chocolate fountain and sufganiyot (an Israeli jelly donut that’s a delicious staple of Hanukkah celebrations), as well as some competitive dreidel games.
Hanukkah celebrations continue on campus with dinners and special events every night during the holiday. It concludes Sunday, Dec. 5. For full schedule of events, visit Jewish Life at Duke.
Earlier in the week, the center marked the start of the holiday on Nov. 28. President Vincent Price and Provost Sally Kornbluth joined Campus Rabbi Elana Friedman on Nov. 30 to help light the third candle of the holiday. (Photo courtesy Center for Jewish Life)
