The Harris | Oakmark Jewish Employee Resource Group (JERG) hosted its annual Hanukkah party, where employees enjoyed traditional snacks such as latkes and sufganiyot and played dreidel to celebrate the holiday.
“The Hanukkah party is an event I truly look forward to every year. It’s special to see colleagues from all backgrounds come together to celebrate the holiday, share in the traditions, and create a sense of unity and connection,” shared Emma Zisook, senior marketing operations coordinator and co-chair of the Jewish Employee Resource Group.
The JERG also provided information on the history of Hanukkah and the significance of its traditions. For example, foods fried in oil are eaten to commemorate the miracle of the oil that lasted eight nights instead of one.
“The JERG at Harris | Oakmark is very welcoming. I value the opportunity to learn about their culture and experience aspects of it firsthand,” shared Jack Drobny, business process improvement senior associate.
