Sixth form students at JFS are raising money for charity by selling doughnuts
Pupils at a Kenton school are helping youngsters in the former Soviet Union by selling Chanukah doughnuts.
Teenagers at the Jews’ Free School, in The Mall, are selling doughnuts to other students as a way of raising money for Tikva, a children’s home in Ukraine.
The sixth form students will be selling the snacks all week.
Chanukah is the Jewish Festival of Lights, which lasts for eight days. This year, it started on Saturday and finishes on Sunday.
It is customary during the festival to eat foods cooked in oil, to celebrate the miracle in which one-day's supply of oil miraculously lasted eight days after its rededication when the forces of Antiochus IV had been driven from the Temple in Jerusalem.
