>A great idea. I remember those Jewish potato pancakes that the Children

>special one - I think we may have one. Ask Maintenance to look in the

>We looked in the cellars. We have a big one - very, very dusty - behind a
>whole pile of incense pans, marked "Gifts from Aeolia Capitolina State
>visit 70AD". How many lights do you need? There are seven branches to
>this candelabra. We also found an ancient set of jars of oil with an OU
>marking in Greek, but one was missing - must have been dropped somewhere.

>Got your Memo. The one we have won't do -- we need the newer model with
>eight candles. I think Chabad dropped one off at the gate last week with
>the Swiss guards. If not, ask the ADL if we can borrow one. Shut up about
>what we have in the cellar. Remember to check on the potato pancakes.
