It's Friday.

Ended up ordering a menorah from the Judaica shop in the next town over to be sent to the school. That way it would get there in time for Chanuka on Tuesday as I have no time to run all over for one. Ordered some chocolate from Wilbur Chocolate for a gift too (I wish they would have on-line ordering) - if you are ever in the the PA Dutch Country, visit their factory in Liditz (yes, they have samples!)

Oh, yeah, I was definitely planning on electric. Hannah really likes light, and I think that combining her and fire would really be a bad idea. ;)

I'm going to get in touch with a Hillel group at the local university to see if they can recommend where to get one, as Newark's just about guaranteed to have a bigger Jewish population than Elkton has. ;) I'm also going to ask them about books about Judaism for the toddler/preschool set, but if you've got any recommendations, I'd love to hear them. :)

I did a list at bn.com on toddler/preschool chanuka (because barnes and noble has free same day delivery in NYC).

I ordered my electric menorah from the judiaca shop in a nearby town because it was so close to chanuka and it would be fast to ship. It's there now, I actually have to find them instructions on how to light it - right to left, but the lights (candles) for each day are lit left to right. The top one's always lit.

www.jewishsource.com is a good starting point.
