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.

Drop-In Play
Join JBN in Palo Alto or San Mateo at their fun, state-of-the-art, and stimulating playrooms for two hours of interactive play with your child. Drop-in Play Facilitators will be on hand to provide helpful tips and guidance. Drop-In Play centers are open to parents and caregivers with children five years and under. The playroom can accommodate 15 families at a time, so plan to arrive just before each session begins to ensure that you and your child can participate.
