Chanukah in Spring

Yael Pritzker and her 3-year-old son, Avi, and Yael Waknine and her sons, Micah Weiss, 8, and Avi Weiss, 6, visit the AJT offices Friday, March 10, to receive the prize of an Israel Box from Israeli Consul General Judith Varnai Shorer, who is joined by her daughter, Roni, and the Israeli Consulate’s public affairs director, Lucas Dear. The two families were the winners in a Facebook contest the consulate ran during Chanukah, in which people were asked to post photos of their brightly burning menorahs. The IBox is a collection of Israeli-made products and is a conscious response to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
