Come celebrate Chanukah with the CBI community! This year we’re celebrating indoors (no bonfire) due to regional wildfire risk, but we’ll have just as much joy and music as in years past. We’ll share a homemade meal of pizza, salad, and sufganiyot. Activities will include a crafts station (make a gift for a friend, or sit down with a family member to make a Chanukah craft project to display every year), a spirited song circle, a dreidel spinning contest, and a recipe swap for latkes / sufganiyot / other festive treats. If you have a beloved recipe, project, song or ritual item you’d like to share with others, let us know by emailing Rabbi Jarah at [email protected]. All ages and stages are welcome — adults and children, grandparents, empty nesters, or child-free.

We are currently in need of thick cardboard tubes for one of our Chanukah projects! If you have tubes from aluminum foil, plastic wrap, wrapping paper, or other thick cardboard tubes, please bring them with you to our event — thank you in advance!

Please RSVP via our website by Saturday, December 14 if you plan to attend so we can prepare enough food.

This event is a partnership between Congregation Beth Israel & NEFESH, with major financial support from Sally Gottesman & the Harold Grinspoon Foundation as well as funding from other private donors.
