When we gather together for a sacred purpose, we endure.

Holiday Resource Guide

Tu BiSh'vat

Celebrate the New Year for Trees, which holds an important place in Judaism, from the Garden of Eden to the blooming of Israel and Jewish environmentalism.

Chanukah

The Festival of Lights is a wonderful holiday to celebrate with family and friends. It’s about freedom, spirit and courage. We celebrate by lighting candles, singing songs, playing with a dreidel, eating fried food, giving each other gifts and spending time together.

Purim

Masks! Flasks! Festivities! Purim is one of Judaism’s most joyous holidays, when all things silly are embraced and the only thing we take seriously is the celebrating!

Passover

Passover (Pesach) is the Jewish holiday of freedom, when we gather with family and friends to retell the story of our exodus from Egypt, when we eat unleavened bread (matzah) and other symbolic food, and when enjoy our freedom while committing to helping those who are still fighting for their rights.
