Hanukkah begins Thursday night!
During this challenging time, we strive to bring light to the darkness. Bring light with your passion for community, your pride in our sacred tradition, and your presence throughout our week of celebration.
We’ll kick things off with a big community celebration on the December 7. We’re specifically inviting friends and allies on the first night. Let them know it’s a great way to show support! Our new, year-round choir, NaShira, will sing.
December 8 is bring your own menorah night! I really am hoping for at least 54 menorahs to light our brief, intergenerational Shabbat evening service!
Every night of Hanukkah is an opportunity to connect. Different groups at Temple Emanuel will light the massive menorah in Menorah Valley, followed by the nightly drawing of our Hanukkah raffle. There will be hot cider, hot chocolate, donuts, dreidel and more.
You’ll be able to join us in person or online each night. It might not be the most important holiday, but as we continue to live with great uncertainty, it’s an important time to come together. I’ll look forward to seeing you throughout the week!
An Early Chanukat Sameach - Happy Hanukkah!
