On Monday, the South Shore chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women held its annual Hanukkah Celebration at the Rockville Centre Recreation Center.

Families enjoyed pizza and latkes and participated in a menorah lighting. Kids were also able to work on a holiday-themed craft, and they enjoyed a special magic show by Simply Magic featuring John Turdo. The NCJW also collected new toys and household items that will be donated to local charities.
