Program Description

Event Details

Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is December 7 to 15 this year. Join members of our community to celebrate and learn about Chanukah with hands-on games and crafts, a special story walk, and tasty treats. This program is ideal for the whole family. Arrive anytime between 5 and 7 p.m., and stay however long you are able. Children under 6 years may need help from a grown-up to complete some projects.
