This year we celebrated the happiest Jewish holiday, Hanukkah in our synagogue.

A smaller number of members were present due to bad weather conditions and health problems of some members, but that did not diminish the joy of our gatherings and the celebration of the seventh day of this festival of light in the foggy Belgrade night.

Along with the rich service, we were also entertained by the musical ensemble La Banda.

Financial assistance was sent to the parents of our youngest members to make their children happy with gifts according to their wishes.

Although Purim is one of our few joyful holidays, those present were unanimous that order and peace must be preserved during tomorrow's student protests at a time of great turmoil in our society.
Unfortunately, our Federation (SJOS) did not imake any statement about it, even though the students invited them to do so.
