State 29: Chanukah On Ice

A profile of Rabbi Shneur Cadaner in today's Quad City Times.

Here's something we didn't know about the Quad Cities before:

Jews were among the first residents in what is know the Quad-City area during the 19th century and had established five synagogues at one point.


And don't miss Chanukah On Ice on December 27th in the Quad-City Sports Center:

? ?Chanukah on Ice? is not just for skaters, it?s for all ages,? Rabbi Shneur Cadaner said. Cadaner, director of Chabad Lubavitch of the Quad-Cities, said the event is designed to be fun for everyone who attends. The celebration will include ice skating, Jewish music, latkes, doughnuts, dreidels, gelt and other traditional festival foods. One highlight will be the menorah carved of ice, which is expected to be at least 4 feet high.

Nonstop action and activities will provide a creative and educational outlet for children and adults, the rabbi said.

The event will be 5:15-7:15 p.m. The cost is $4 per person or $20 per family and includes skate rental, skating and all activities at the Sports Center, 700 West River Drive. For more information or to RSVP, call Chabad Quad-Cities at (563) 355-1065, or e-mail ChanukahOnIce@chabadquadcities.com. The Web site is www.chabadquadcities.org
