Temple Judea Reform Synagogue of Doylestown and jkidphilly will host a Hanukkah event and ceremonial menorah lighting for the Jewish community of Bucks County on Sunday, Dec. 18, the first night of Hanukkah, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the corner of State and Hamilton streets in Doylestown.
The event is for all ages and will feature singing and dancing with Rabbi Sigal Brier and Dan Khan, cookie decorating, goodie bags, a raffle basket and refreshments.
In lieu of a traditional menorah lighting with candles or lights, children will be decorating flame hats and will line up to form a menorah for the celebration. There will also be a large dreidel placed at the corner of State and Hamilton streets to commemorate Hanukkah.
“We love gathering around the giant sevivon (dreidel) to sing, dance and have doughnuts, said Brier. “It is always great fun for people of all ages.”
