Marilyn Anthony and Harriet Dworkin explain a question at Jewish Trivia Night.
Marilyn Anthony
It was down to the wire for the second annual Jew Who Knew? evening with three teams tying for first place. Following two tie breaking questions, Team Aleph, Sam/Lorna Horowitz, Sandy/Seth Basker, Ellie/George Adelman and Elaine/Howard Fagan took the prize. It was no mean feat to win this year with somewhat esoteric questions. A fun time was had by all.
The next JFG dinner will be March 12. The menu is corned beef and cabbage or herb roasted chicken, mixed green salad, roasted potatoes, assorted cookies for dessert and drinks.
