Saddle up and join us for a celebration that’s big on spirit, full of flavor, and shining with community joy! This year’s theme — YeeHaw-nukkah: Not Our First Rodeo — brings together the warmth of Chanukah with a good old-fashioned Western twist.
The evening begins with a service and dinner followed by a night of festive fun for all ages. From cowboy boots to menorah lights, it’s sure to be a rootin’-tootin’ good time!
Please remember to bring your own menorah for lighting at Dinner!
As a reminder, we are once again doing our Winter Gear Drive to benefit Together! We are now collecting new or very gently used coats, hats, gloves, and scarves through December 14 (our Chanukah Celebration). Drop these items off at Temple Israel.
