Chanuka Chagigah Featuring Malky Giniger Tremendous Success!
Students and Guests Dance and Sing for Hours
Singing Sensation Malky Giniger led TAGHS, students from TA lower and middle schools, women from Lower Merion, and mothers and daughters who joined from as far as Northeast Philadelphia and Scranton in singing and dancing for hours on Monday evening. The room was filled with ruach, achdus, and high excitement, and the chagigah culminated with a dessert reception featuring fabulous cakes baked by high school students. Malky was even joined for several songs by TAGHS student Gitel Deutsch and her sister who had come in for the event (Malky has trained both girls). Thank you to the G.O. officers--Devorah Lichtenstein, Shevy Feinstein, Leba Baum, Devorah Rosenberg, Shani Hirsch, and Liba Wachs--and Mrs. Nomi Levene for organizing this incredible event.
