Hanukkah, the Jewish holiday also known as the Festival of Lights, begins Sunday night and lasts for eight days. LisaRoznerTV spoke to New Yorkers to find out the unique ways they're celebrating this year.
Growing up in Mexico, ironically, Fan-Fan Doughnuts owner Fany Gerson never celebrated Hanukkah with doughnuts. It wasn't until she moved to Israel that she marked the holiday with the traditional fried food also known as sufganiyot.
This year, Russ and Daughters, founded by a Polish-Jewish immigrant, asked her to collaborate. Gerson's Bed-Stuy shop will bake three classics for their customers, including a black-and-white doughnut and one with rugelach on top."Hopefully," Gerson said, laughing. "When I think of Hanukkah, I think of making latkes with my mom and lighting the Hanukkah candles together," said Julie Smelansky, manager of the 12 Chairs Café.
