Students enjoy festive cookie, cupcake event Menorah lighting brightens Hanukkah spirit on campus B&W photo by JOANNE CHOU This menorah outside of Linderman Library was lit during Hanukkah to represent the celebration that took place earlier this semester. By MEGAN WOOLBERT The Lehigh community was invited to celebrate Hanukkah with the lighting of the Grand Menorah Wednesday, Nov. 27, outside of Lindeman Library. Students and faculty gathered on the path leading up to the library on Wednesday to recite the Hanukkah blessing, light the Menorah, enjoy traditional Jewish food and listen to lively music in great company. This year Hanukkah began on the evening of Nov. 27 and ended on Thursday, Dec. 5. The holiday demonstrates the power of a miracle through the humanism of the Jewish people and is celebrated by the consecutive kindling of eight lights. At the heart of the festival is the nightly lighting of the Menorah. Only the shamus and the first candle are lit on the first night. A candle is added on each subsequent night of Hanukkah, until eight candles are lit on the final night of Hanukkah. The word Hanukkah means See MENORAH Page 4 By REBECCA FACTOR and CHRISTINA CAVANAUGH Every year during the Christmas season, hundreds of tourists pour into Historic Bethlehem to experience the holiday spirit and events the city has to offer. Whether it be ice sculpting or tasty food, there is bound to be something for everyone to enjoy. Across the river to the north of Lehigh’s campus is the beautiful North Side Bethlehem. But students may not know that the city is a major destination for tourists who want to indulge in all things Christmas-related. The city was christened “Bethlehem” on Christmas Eve in 1741 by Moravian Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf. In 1937, the Chamber of Commerce launched a campaign to dub Bethlehem the official “Christmas city” of the United States. Since then, Bethlehem has become a place rich in holiday spirit and traditions. Bethlehem offers several events, tours and festivals throughout the month of December where people can learn the history of Christmas. Just driving through the North Side, the holiday cheer is contagious. Visitors and residents alike are wowed annually by horse-drawn carriages; 35,000 lights adorning the city’s streets; 35 festive wreaths; and 26 decorated Christmas trees. The 5,000-square-foot Lehigh & Keystone Valley Model Railroad Museum is open from the day after Thanksgiving until the new year; for just $7, visitors can experience a model railroad and learn about the history of the system that crisscrossed the nation. The “Pass Into History” also allow visitors to take a step back in time; the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts is the only museum of its type—an exclusive highlighter of decorative arts—in the state, while the Moravian Museum of Bethlehem highlights the history of the city itself, including multiple aspects of life in early Bethlehem.

About 150 students attended the afternoon gathering for a chance to decorate delicious treats. Cookies and chocolate cupcakes were available to decorate with vanilla and chocolate frosting; they could then be topped with colored sprinkles. Hot chocolate was also available to the attendees. Members of University Productions, who donned Santa hats for the event, dotted the hall. “We wanted to do something before finals that people could come out, have a good time before everyone has to study,” said Tierney Walls, ’17. Joe Skibbens, ’17, said the goal was to get everyone in a good mood for the holidays. To help set the mood, Christmas music blared through the speakers throughout the event. Tae Hong Min, ’16, the special events director of UP, planned the event as a last-minute idea. “I remember last year there was no event like this, so I decided that it’s good for the students, and I thought it would be a great break for everyone,” he said. “Usually stuff like this is for specific groups like man Decorating treats helped bolster holiday cheer on campus.
