We invite everyone to join us to learn about and celebrate together the first night of Chanukah (Hanukkah).

Edith Kaplan will introduce us to the Jewish Festival of Lights. You don’t have to be Jewish to attend! Everyone is welcome to come and learn about the holiday, its history and traditions.

This year Chanukah begins at sundown on December 10. Edith will light the first night candle at 4:30 pm to begin the eight day celebration. We also welcome anyone who has a menorah to light theirs also!

Afterwards, we hope you will stay on the Zoom to share traditions and stories, or ask questions about the holiday, in informal conversation.
