Sacred Heart Church Concert

By |

A benefit concert to support Dr. Peter Coombs’ mission to Haiti will take place at Sacred Heart Church on Sunday, February 17 at 4 p.m. Dr. Coombs travels to Haiti each year to provide dental services to people who otherwise have no dental care and live mainly in poor rural areas. The concert will feature baritone Cleveland Williams, soprano Margaret Beers and pianist Stacy Cahoon. Williams’ work has mainly been in the Bahamas. He produced and directed Scott Joplin’s opera, Treemonisha, in 2009 to celebrate 36 years of Bahamian Independence. Because of its success, people demanded more of the same and thus was formed the Nassau City Opera Company.

Potato Latkes for Hanukkah

By |

Jews all over the world will celebrate Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, which begins this year on Sunday, December 2 at sundown and ends Monday, December 10 at sundown. This holiday is a celebration of freedom and is very much a family holiday. Jewish families light the Hanukkah menorah, adding one light each night, exchange small gifts, play dreidel, a gambling game played often with pennies or candy (M&Ms are our favorites), sing songs and eat latkes (potato pancakes) or doughnuts (sufganiyot), because they are fried in oil. The oil the latkes are fried in represents the miracle of the small container of oil that burned for eight days in the Hanukkah story and reminds us of the freedom for which we are thankful. My favorite latke recipe follows:

Latkes

Serves 4-5

5-6 large baking potatoes, shredded in a processor

3 large eggs

2 Tablespoons flour

Vegetable oil

½ onion, chopped into small pieces

1.
