Lighting the World with Kindness
Sunday, December 10, 2023 • 3:00 – 5:00 pm • Free!
In this challenging time, let’s light the world with a day of kindness! Enjoy family activities including Israeli dance and Hanukkah Zumba, a bounce house, arts and crafts, PJ Library story time, and a photo booth. Of course, we’ll have plenty of latkes and jelly donuts to enjoy, and signature cocktails for those 21+. To close the event, we’ll light the hanukkiah and sing favorite Hanukkah songs as a community. Registration required; sign up today!
Supported by our campus partner Wornick Jewish Day School.
