Chanukah & TuB’Shvat

Winter holidays brighten our lives

Chanukah
A great miracle happened there. The Maccabees defeated the Seleucid Syrians in 164 BCE, and the lamps of the Menorah burned in the Temple for eight days with only one day’s supply of oil. A great celebration happens here. On Friday night Shabbat during Chanukah, we focus on our story of freedom and miracle. Congregants light their menorahs and enjoy a latke dinner. Get more background on Chanukah.

Tu B’Shvat
The birthday of the trees reminds us of the bounty of nature that God has provided. Our Religious School commemorates the occasion with special events like our 2009 Fair Trade Fair. Get more background on Tu B’Shvat.
