Happy Chanukah!
Chanukah Shabbat
Friday, December 8 at 6:30 pm
Join us for a spirited service filled with music and light as we celebrate Chanukah Shabbat. Our temple band, MMC, will be featured as we sing, pray, and light our menorahs for the second night of Chanukah. Bring your channukiyah and join in the lighting! The clergy will share the “8 Lights of Hannukah”- or the eight events that have brought light into our world this past year.
The service will also include a blessing for Cantor Emerita Laura Croen, who is embarking on a mission to Israel through the American Conference of Cantors this week. She is collecting socks, underwear, and army green t-shirts to take with her on her trip should you wish to contribute.
The service will be preceded by a prozdor (appetizers) at 6:00 pm and there will be sweet treats to take home after the service. RSVPs are not necessary but will help us plan for the right amount of food. RSVP here.

Chanukah celebrates the miraculous eight days of light from one day of oil and to help celebrate the holiday, we will be hosting a cooking oil drive!
