Shine a Light Milwaukee
As we begin Hanukkah, we’re reminded of the miracles and hope that have illuminated our path as a community throughout the centuries.
This Hanukkah, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation & the Harry & Rose Samson Family JCC are asking everyone in Milwaukee to SHINE A LIGHT on all that is good in our community, while reminding ourselves to never lose hope and to always let our collective light shine even in the darkest of times.
Here’s how you can show your support:
