Chanukah

Chanukah begins on Wednesday, December 25th and ends Thursday, January 2nd. 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. Explore resources, Chanukah events from around the community, family-friendly activities to engage the kids in meaningful rituals, and more to brighten your holiday celebration.

Deepen your family’s Chanukah experience and connect with the community with these resources from around Greater Washington.
