Below you can learn about this year's array of Hill Havurah Chanukkah events and activities.
Self-Guided Menorah Tour of Capitol Hill
Even though we can't crowd around a table full of menorahs this year, we're really looking forward to seeing each other's menorahs! More than 30 Hill Havurah households are putting a menorah (lit or unlit, actual or colored in) in their windows this year. On Friday morning at about 10:50 we sent a link of a "walking map" to Havurah members who'd like to try to see as many menorahs as possible. For security reasons, please do not post the map on social media or share it publicly in any way. If you didn't receive the map or have any questions, please email Danny at danny.tomares@hillhavurah.org. |
