SUMMARY: Several road closures are expected tomorrow, so be aware if you plan to head downtown. The holiday series focuses on the traditions of Hanukkah, including chocolate-covered coins, latkes, and traditional games. The celebrations begin at sundown and include singing, lighting the menorah, and playing dreidel. Rabbi Joseph Rosen from Beth Israel Congregation discusses their Hanukkah party, which includes eating latkes and jelly-filled donuts. He also explains the origins of the game of dreidel and how it was used by Jewish people to avoid being caught studying the Torah by Syrian conquerors. The game is now a beloved tradition for Jewish families in Jackson.

Hanukkah includes many traditions.

SUMMARY: Students at Southern Miss had the opportunity to witness real legal proceedings as a three-judge panel from the Mississippi Court of Appeals held oral arguments on a manslaughter case during the university‘s “Court on the Road” program. This event was part of the annual pre-law week activities, aimed at enhancing students’ understanding of the legal profession. Participants, mainly from USM’s Legal Services Program, engaged in discussions with judges after the arguments, gaining insights into the appellate process.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Francine’s passage through the Pine Belt elicited mixed feelings among local farmers. Pearl River County faced more impacts than others, receiving tropical storm-force winds and heavy rainfall of 6 to 8 inches. While strong winds damaged some corn crops, the severity of the impact varied based on corn variety and planting location. Despite these challenges, some farmers found benefits for their soybean crops, calling the rainfall a “drought buster.” The moisture also led to a surge in grasshopper populations, affecting soybean plants. Overall, the storm’s effects highlighted the complex relationship between weather and agriculture.
