Chanukah Around the World

Eight Candles. Eight Countries. One Jewish People.

Travel through eight countries without leaving Temple Emanu-El, exploring global Jewish traditions through festive foods, hands-on activities, and family fun. No passports are required to experience this global celebration at Temple Emanu-El! 

Children and their grownups are invited to join Temple Emanu-El for a festive journey through eight countries where each stop will feature delicious holiday foods, hands-on family activities, and Chanukah traditions from Jewish communities around the world. The evening will begin before Worship with sensory experiences for our youngest members and transition to more interactive stations for older children following Worship. 

Collect stamps at every stop and discover how the Jewish people shine light all around the world. All travelers will leave with a special souvenir and sense of Jewish pride.
