About the 8 Hanukkah Actions
Hanukkah – what’s not to love? And, what if our connection and love grew even more. Congregation Shaarie Torah wants to take Hanukkah to the next level. So, we decided to create lists of actions that could be performed on each night in addition the lighting of the candles and singing songs. We hope you will consider adopting some (or all) of these activities to help make your Hanukkah even better.
Hanukkah Party & Havdalah | Sat, Dec 4, 5:15 pm | zoom
Come join us for fun and celebration! Light your menorah, celebrate Havdalah, and discover the light in the darkness with Shaarie Torah this Hanukkah. Your presence makes all the difference to us and reminds us of the strength and resilience of our great Jewish community.
Dreidel Song Challenge
We’ve all heard the traditional lyrics – and gotten them stuck in our brain for days – but why must we stop with clay? There are lots of a fun and creative ways to dress up the basic Dreidel song. This year we're challenging YOU to write your own verse(s) of the Dreidel song and be prepared to share them live on zoom ("oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of _____ ... ")
