Celebrate Chanukah with MLRT!
At Chanukah we celebrate miracles - the miracle of our survival, the miracle of the dedication of our army, the miracle of the oil. At this time, our darkest time of the year, it’s hard to see the miracles. So, we want to bring some joy and miracles into your home. Each night of Chanukah will have its own theme. We will join together on Zoom at 6:30 pm to light the Chanukiah together and then participate in a program.

Chag Urim Sameach - Happy Festival of Lights!
Chanukah (alternately spelled Hanukkah), meaning "dedication" in Hebrew, refers to the joyous eight-day celebration during which Jews commemorate the victory of the Maccabees over the armies of Syria in 165 B.C.E. and the subsequent liberation and "rededication" of the Temple in Jerusalem. The modern home celebration of Chanukah centers around the lighting of the chanukiyah, a special menorah for Chanukah; foods prepared in oil including latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts); and special songs and games.
