Chanukah

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.


Central Synagogue’s Education staff is proud to present some age-appropriate activities that we invite you to perform at home, in school, or on the road.

Chag Urim Sameach!
