On a tour of the University of Judaism and its museum, Peter M. Kahn Sr. tells the story of Hanukkah to Lawrence Shapiro, Judith Ann Simon, Ned and Michael Shapiro and Shelley Gach. Kahn, the first president of Mount Sinai Hospital and head of the Growers Marketing Co., was chairman of the University of Judaism's board. He died in 1952 at the age of 73. The Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles bears his name.

Adorable pic of the Sharpiro brothers (Larry, Ned and Michael). I came across this quite by accident and it brought back memories. There mother, Jeanie, was probably standing by smiling. Thanks for keeping this up.
