Wednesday evening, Dec 25th, the Jewish and Messianic communities around the world will be lighting their Hanukah menorahs and celebrating this special time of the year; hearing the story of Hanukkah, eating potato latkes and Sufganyiot (jelly donuts), spinning the dreidel and having lots of fun!

Here are the Blessing over the Candles, and instructions for lighting the candles!

To get you further into the spirit of Hanukkah, here are some photos from celebrating Hanukkah in the homes of our congregation:

These are warm and joyful pictures from Rabbi Cal & Jan Goldberg household:

Happy Hanukkah to you!
