Hanukah Celebration and Shining Lights Shabbat

/ /


Fri 12/3 6:00 PM Pre-Service Celebration
7:30 PM Service

Join us before Shabbat services as we celebrate the sixth night of Hanukah together. You bring the latkes and your menorah with candles (labeled with your name and phone number in case you forget it when you leave), and we’ll bring the fun with latke sides, dreidel games, and arts and crafts.

At 7:30, we will move inside for our Hanukah Shabbat service, featuring the Shalom Singers and our Shining Lights ceremony. Masks and vaccines are required to join in the sanctuary. Stay tuned for Zoom information.

We need help with set up and break down of crafts and dreidel games. We also need people to make a couple dozen latkes each so that we are sure to have enough for everyone. Please contact Trudie if you are able to do either of these things.

Hanukkah Light Labyrinth walk

/ /

We welcome you to our campus on Wednesday December 1st at 5:30 pm for the 4th Night of Hanukah.  On this night, even as we kindle the Chanukiyah and remember the miracles of this season, we walk a labyrinth of light to focus our steps and reflect on our journey.  It is a simple walk with lots of ways to consider how we move through our world and carry light on our way.  Even if Hanukah is not your holiday, we hope you will come to help brighten up the season.

Hanukkah Park and Spark

We are popping up around town for Hanukkah. We will be lighting the menorah, saying the blessings together, and singing Hanukkah songs in various locations. Bring some friends and join us for one night, or join us for them all! All gatherings at 5:30 pm unless noted!
