Bring your friends & family – everyone is invited for an amazing Chanukah & Havdalah program with JCrafts in Olney!

The evening includes:

* Experience the thrill of pressing olives using JCrafts’ antique century-old press and then separating the oil from the juice using a hand-driven centrifuge
* Go back in time as you join the group of Maccabees refining the olive oil needed for the Temple Menorah
* Discover the ancient art of olive pressing much the same way as it was done during the time of the Chanukah story
* Focus on the key role olives and olive presses have played both agriculturally and economically for many, many centuries in ancient Israel in time bygone
* Remember – an olive only gives its oil when it is crushed.

We can’t promise the oil will last for eight days, but the memories are sure to last a lifetime!
