Holidays

Hanukkah
This historic festival of rededication, celebrates a victory of a few against many, and recalls the legend that when the ancient Jerusalem Temple was rededicated, a single cruse of oil miraculously burned for eight days. 

Passover
The major weeklong holiday of unleavened bread,, commemorates the ancient Exodus from Egypt, the movement from bondage to freedom. The annual spring observance of Passover revolves around the most elaborate home ritual of all Jewish holidays, the Seder meal.

Rosh Hashanah
A period of inner reflection and prayer,  A time for asking forgiveness and a time for forgiving.  A time to give tsedekah as a gesture of atonement and pledge  renewal and commitment to Jewish values.

Shabbat
Friday evening brings the divine promise of peace and separation. We welcome Shabbat with candle lighting and the Shabbat meal and bid it adieu with the Havdallah ceremony.  Shabbat is a celebration of our millennia year old heritage.
