ABOUT CHANUKAH
Chanukah, an eight-day holiday, celebrates the re-dedication of the Jerusalem Temple after Judah the Maccabee’s revolt against Syrian King Antiochus, who tried to impose Greek religion on Israel. A small jar of oil, enough for one day, miraculously lasted eight days. To commemorate this, we light a menorah for eight nights and enjoy oil-based foods. Daily candle-lighting and celebrations take place at the JCC
Chanukah begins at sundown on Friday, December 4, 2026, and ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12, 2026. The JCC is open according to the usual schedule.
