CHANUKAH 5785
For the love of Chanukah!
The Intermountain Jewish News Doris Sky Chanukah Coloring Contest is a place where the entire spectrum of the Jewish community comes together. Jewish children from every kind of school and synagogue express what Chanukah means to them through their art.
The hostages being held in Gaza had an influence on some young artists’ creations, and other children chose to express the fun, whimsical or family aspects of Chanukah.
