Celebrating Hanukkah, the Festival of Light, surrounded by family and friends is one of my favorite holidays. Lighting the candles, enjoying the retelling of the story of the Maccabees, the story of dedication and community speaks to who we were and who we are today. As the days get shorter and darkness envelopes us earlier we continue to offer "enlightening" programs here at Hadassah. Please take a look at ongoing and upcoming programs.
Upcoming on December 18th is the second meeting of our monthly Toddlers (and their Special Adult) program,
Al Galgalim, which began last month at Temple Emanuel. It is not too late to sign up for the remainder of the academic year ($34 for the remaining 6 classes) by
