BOSTON – The State House filled with traditional Judaic music Monday as a giant 18-foot-high menorah stood over the joyous crowd. "Oseh Shalom," sung by local students of the Schechter Day School, brought the message of peace to an appreciative audience.
Gov. Charlie Baker joined House Speaker Robert DeLeo, Senate Majority Leader Harriette Chandler of Worcester and Rabbi Rachmiel Liberman of Congregation Lubavitch Synagogue as they rode a scissor lift to reach the lights of the huge menorah.
Are you a parent who missed out on Black Friday deals this year? Or perhaps you would just rather take a more sentimental approach to budget-friendly gift giving this holiday season? Here are some ideas to entertain:
Family Movie Night in a Popcorn Bowl: Create a Movie Basket/Bowl containing your child's favorite theater treats and a classic holiday movie on a DVD.
