Chanukah 2014
8th Annual Passover
Model Seder
December 16 at Sundown –
December 24 at Sundown
Chanukah (alternately spelled Hanukkah),
meaning “dedication” in Hebrew, refers to the
joyous eight-day celebration during which Jews
commemorate the victory of the Maccabees
over the armies of Syria in 165 B.C.E. and the
subsequent liberation and “rededication” of
the Temple in Jerusalem. The modern home
celebration of Hanukkah centers around the
lighting of the chanukiyah, a special menorah
for Hanukkah; foods prepared in oil including
latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly
donuts); and special songs and games.
Join the Weinstein JCC – Jewish Family Theatre
as we light the Menorah for the second
night of Chanukah, share a delicious meal,
and celebrate together with the songs of
Irving Berlin, the iconic Jewish song writer,
performed by a cast of Richmond performers!
