As the days grow short, Chanukah’s candles, stories, rituals and music help us to bring light and warmth into dark places. In particular these days, when so many of our hearts are filled with worry and fear, let’s get together to light lights and cultivate joy and togetherness. Maybe even some silliness and laughter will be good medicine for our aching spirits (break out those ugly Chanukah sweaters!)
​
Let’s light each others’ Chanukah sparks at our upcoming community-wide, intergenerational gathering!
When: December 9th, 2023 4:30 - 6:30pm
​
Where: Renew Queens' large space in Long Island City (10-15 46th Road). Note: This is NOT the Renew Queens space we usually have our events in! Please note the address.
​
Who: This gathering is meant for all ages. Everyone is welcome!
​
What: Bring your own Chanukiah (Chanukah menorah) and some candles with you. We’ll light our candles and watch them burn, sing some joyful songs, tell some stories, eat latkes, and make crafts. Ugly Chanukah sweaters welcome!
Book drive: We're collecting new/gently used children's books for refugees staying in a local hotel, so please bring some along with you. We'll make bookmarks to donate with them.
​
Accessibility: This is a fully ADA accessible space. The bathrooms are single room/gender neutral and have wide doors with handles on the walls, and there is a changing table in the first bathroom.
