SUMMARY:Hanukkah Candle Lighting
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the PJCC lobby each evening\, as we come together to light the hanukkiah (special menorah with 8 branches used for Hanukkah) and share in the warmth\, light\, and joy of the season. \nHanukkah\, the Festival of Lights\, celebrates the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days in the rededicated Temple in Jerusalem. It’s a time to bring light into the darkness\, celebrate resilience\, and gather in the community. \nThis is a wonderful opportunity to come together\, sing songs\, and share the joy of this special holiday. Whether you join us for one night or all eight\, your presence will make our celebration shine even brighter. \nView all of our Hanukkah events here.

SUMMARY:The New Middle East: Investing in Deradicalization\, Protecting Civilization
