Chanukah Round Up
Chanukah is all about celebrating miracles, community and finding light in the darkest times. This year Chanukah begins at sundown Sunday, December 14 and ends at nightfall on Monday, December 22. It’s the perfect time to connect, whether you’re lighting candles, spinning dreidels or indulging in crispy latkes and jelly-filled sufganiyot. No matter how you celebrate, there’s something for everyone. Let’s make this Chanukah joyful, meaningful and full of light!
Check out our Chanukah Resources, here.
