An evening of mindfulness by the light of the Chanukah candles

Date: Sunday, December 21, 2025

Time:  7 - 9pm

Location: Renew Queens, in LIC (exact address shared after registration)

 

​Led by Rabbi Rachel Goldenberg and Student Rabbi Emily Herzlin

​

Join Rabbi G. and Student Rabbi Emily Herzlin for an evening of Chanukah-themed mindfulness practice, our second in our series of three holiday-themed mindfulness events this year.

 

We will gather for meditation, chant, mindful speech and deep listening, while sitting in community in the glow of our chanukiot (Chanukah menorahs). We’ll end the evening with soufganiyot (donuts!) and share stories and poems on the themes of light, darkness, and rededication. 

 

What to bring:

• Your chanukiah (chanukah menorah) and candles if you’d like

• A poem or brief story to share about light, darkness, or rededication

• A water bottle if you need one

• Whatever else you need to be comfortable (There are chairs at Renew queens, but if you prefer a different meditation set-up, please bring what you need e.g. yoga mat, bolster, blanket).
