[note] Say hello to our new blogger Eric! He has been writing posts about events around town – keep an eye on IheartPGH for more upcoming events and event recaps.  Happy Hanukah! [/note] After a weekend of being sick I found myself at the Beth Shalom Preschool & Synagogue’s Hanukkah day one celebration, despite only having a periphery involvement with the organization.

Beth Shalom Preschool & Synagogue… Read the rest

Best Holiday Commercial EVER!

5 Comments

Of course it is from Pittsburgh! According to the YouTube comments this commercial has been running since 1982. I was thinking that I had not seen this commercial on TV yet this holiday season.
