QUIT LOAFING AROUND: CHANUKAH EDITION

Pull through our Circle Drive this Friday, December 3 from 9:30-10:30am to share Shabbat greetings, grab a challah AND pick up a special Chanukah treat.

CELEBRATE CHANUKAH!

We're celebrating Chanukah tonight at Minyan, tomorrow at Tot Shabbat and the Shabbat Chanukah Service, Saturday at Rabbi Steve's house (via Zoom) and Sunday with an in-person concert featuring Craig Taubman & Friends. Following the concert, look up as we publicize the miracle with fireworks (via livestream for those not in Glencoe). Am Shalom puts on the show every year in memory of Sam Sommer.

Our hanukiyah is set up on the Circle Drive and will be accepting your donations through December 10. Read more about all the ways we're celebrating, dedicating and getting festive (festivating?) this year.
