Kabbalat Hanukkah Shabbat

We went to Temple Akiba, our synagogue, for the Kabbalat Hanukkah Shabbat last night. It was packed with people of all ages. The music was wonderful---we all sang together various Hanukkah songs, and of course songs for Shabbat. Afterwards, there was a sumptous feast of latkes (potato pancakes) with all the trimmings, as well as other delicious fare.
