Chanukah 2021: Sunday, November 28-Monday, December 6

Eight awesome nights of Chanukah with The Temple!

Daily Dash--Chanukah Edition

Join a member of our Temple clergy at 6PM every night as they light the Chanukah menorah (except for Friday, December 3, when it will be a part of services). We will do this as a Zoom meeting so everyone has the option to turn on their cameras and add to the festive lights, or you can join us on Facebook Live. The link will be the same each night and sent by email.

After joining the candle lighting at 6:00 PM, join us online to cook a yummy Chanukah-inspired dinner and dessert--latke waffles and apple fritters.
