Hanukkah Candle Lighting | December 14 – 21
A core tradition during the 8 nights of Hanukkah is to light the menorah in a window or out in the public square as a declaration of religious freedom, making the miracle of Hanukkah visible to all, and bringing more light into our world.
Join us for our outdoor, public candle lighting each night of Hanukkah on Silver Spring Drive in Whitefish Bay in front of Yellow Wood. A different group/organization will be leading the gathering, and the whole community is invited to stop by.
Our education programs will also be lighting the menorah at 4:00 PM Monday-Friday at the JCC.
We are grateful to our partners at the Wisconsin Jewish Security Network, local law enforcement, and all who work tirelessly to keep our community safe so our families can continue to come together to choose light, unity, and strength as a community.
