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! 28 Led by the students of Rudlin Torah Academy Instructor: Shari Menlowe-Barck Ages: 55+ Jewish Family Theatre’s Chanukah Dinner and Show The Melody Lingers On: The Songs of Irving Berlin Wednesday, December 17 6 pm Dinner 7:30 pm Show Contact Lisa Looney at 545-8608 for tickets and details.
