And the year is . . . 1985!
Here were the clues to this month’s photo:
- During this year, Chanukah began on Saturday, December 7 and ended on Sunday, December 15.
- On November 19 of this year, Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres appealed to U.S. President Reagan and Soviet leader Gorbachev, seeking free emigration for Soviet Jews.
- The short-lived disaster, known as “New Coke,” was launched.
