If you’ve been looking for a themed Hanukkah top, search no longer.
Midrash Manicures, a website that finds new ways for creative Jewish expression, strikes again with a Hanukkah Cold Shoulder Top featuring dreidel cutouts.
It’s tunic length, so it can be worn over last year’s dreidel print leggings by Midrash Manicures, and accessorized with another new product, the dreidel print headband. And of course, Hanukkah nail decals as well.

The website started out as a blog by Rabbi Yael Buechler, the rabbi-in-residence of the Lower School at the Solomon Schechter School of Westchester, who first began doing biblical-themed manicures to inspire her students.

Now Buechler, who was named to The Jewish Week’s “36 Under 36” for her entrepreneurial educational work, uses the website to introduce her holiday designs and educational workshops.
And not to worry, the Hanukkah designs can be shipped same-day priority mail from New York, with eight days to receive and wear them.

We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
