At Chanukah, we celebrate how light – in all its forms – can triumph over any darkness. Creating this light in every moment and every interaction is a choice. Whether itʼs a meal for someone hungry, support for a friend in crisis or simply a smile and kind word for someone in need, making light is what itʼs about. We will make all kinds of light as we enjoy a Chanukah story time, create our very own Dreidel Suncatchers and build delicious Marshmallow Menorahs!
