Description

Known as the “Festival of Lights,” this eight-day Jewish holiday celebrates the fundamental rights of religious freedom. Hanukkah lasts for eight days in December, when the days are shortest and nights are darkest, and is observed by lighting one candle of the nine-branched Menorah each night.

Special Performance: Rabbi Brian Glusman, Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta
11 a.m. and noon
Families can join Rabbi Glusman from the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta to celebrate Hanukkah through dancing to classic Hanukkah songs. Children can gather around to listen to the tales of Maccabees’ bravery and discover the miracle of the Hanukkah lights. As a tasty bonus, kids can learn about the tradition of eating chocolate coins and latkes during the holiday!
