Before you had a chance to eat your turkey leftovers, Christmas music started bombarding you everywhere you went on Black Friday. With the holiday season upon us, there’s also plenty of holiday cheer to be found in bookstores. “Hannukah Haiku,” by Harriet Ziefert with Karla Gudeon’s pics Jewish holidays, Japanese poetry, and fly illustrations. A picture’s worth a thousand words. That’s 10 times the words in this whole book. The length is perfect for tired parents who need short bedtime stories...

Hillel is doing what it can to provide us with Hannukah as we knew it at home, but once again, Harvard is dictating how we observe our holidays. It started with the first-year move-in being scheduled on the two days of Rosh Hashanah (or should I say Rosh Hashanah being scheduled on first-year move-in?). The families of Jewish first-years--300 or 400 in all--had to attempt to welcome...
