Celebrate the Joy of Hanukkah!
Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is a time to bring warmth, light, and joy into our homes and hearts as we celebrate the miraculous victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Temple. This cherished holiday reminds us of the enduring strength of Jewish identity, the triumph of hope, and the power of unity.
Whether you are at home with family, celebrating with friends, joining us at the synagogue, or even travelling during the holiday, Hanukkah offers an opportunity to embrace its meaning and traditions wherever you are. Together, we can light up the world with the beauty of this festival!
This year, we invite you to join in the celebration, whether through lighting your Hanukkiah, singing traditional songs, enjoying delicious latkes and sufganiyot, or engaging in the warmth of community. Below, you will find a guide on how to light the candles and the calendar of our synagogue’s Hanukkah events. Let’s make this season truly special and share the light with all those around us.
