Eco-Chanukah Party

Sunday, Dec. 18th, 5:30pm-8pm

Join us on Sunday, Dec. 18th, 5:30pm-8pm. It has been years (YEARS!) since we lit our candles together as a community. We can’t tell you how excited we are to host you at 30 Cleary again. It will be quite a party - we are even bringing the latke competition back. If you swear by your latke recipe, now is your time to shine. If your latkes are so-so but contain starch and oil, we will eat them regardless and with great enthusiasm. We are not picky; we are SUPPORTIVE. Bring us your goods.

Sign up for the pot luck and latke competition here. 

We also need a few volunteers to make this party shine. Can you help?

Sign up for a volunteer task here. 

Chanukah is a holiday all about conservation! As the story goes, oil enough to keep a menorah lit in the Temple lasted eight days. What can we do in our own lives to conserve energy and resources to protect our planet?

Along with our OrH traditions of dancing, singing, lighting Channukiot and competing for best latke, at this fun-filled eco-Chanukah party, families will learn Jewish Conservation Songs and hear Yiddishkeit stories on conservation: Something From Nothing by Phoebe Gilman and Just Enough is Plenty by Barbara Goldin. Families will play games about reducing, reusing and recycling, participate in Oceanwise’s Great Plastic Challenge and make beautiful Chanukah gifts from eco-friendly materials inspired by Teva Learning Center activities. We will even have a bit of Jewish folk dancing. Join us!
