Celebrate Hanukkah with Us! |
Join us in the PJCC lobby at 4:00 pm each evening from December 14 through December 21 as we come together to light the menorah and share in the warmth, light, and joy of the season.
Hanukkah, 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.
This 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.
