We know it’s been a dark few months, but the brightness of Chanukah is here! Known as the Festival of Lights, Chanukah is a time when we gather with dear family and close friends to share stories, celebrate miracles, and rededicate ourselves to bringing light onto the world through acts of lovingkindness. During a Chanukah like no other, we’ve got you covered with recipes, Chanukah events (virtual and in-person) from around the community, family-friendly activities to engage the kids in meaningful rituals, and more to brighten your holiday celebration.
