In addition, they participated in their own sea day activities including games and sing-alongs in a private lounge on the ship. Aruba and Curacao were particularly interesting as many enjoyed the beaches in Aruba and the oldest active

Yes. My initial remarks upon tasting were, “crispy, chewy, amazing.” They are technically lemon cookies, but they merely allude to their name in this crispy-edged chewy cookie. With only hints of lemon extract and lemon zest, these big sugared roundies can be addictive. Lemon Sugar Tea Cookies Yield: 4 dozen 3” cookies Ingredients • ¾ cup butter • 1 cup white sugar • 1 egg • 2 tablespoons corn syrup • 1 ¼ teaspoons lemon extract • ½ tea. lemon zest, (optional)

Temple B’nai Shalom really knows how to celebrate Hanukkah. In December they had 35 members show up to light their own personal Menorahs as part of the Friday Night Service attended by close to 90 people. The overhead lights were shut off as each person lit their menorah at the same time. The sight was truly spectacular.
