Happy Chanukah!

Chanukah is here! It brings with it its message of light and warmth just in time for the cold winter months.

Just like the Maccabees, Chanukah reminds us that life's darkest moments and greatest challenges can be brightened with steadfast faith and determination.

Please join us in celebrating at the Chanukah Concert and Party and at the Grand Menorah Lightings in New London and Norwich! 

 
The Miracle of Chanukah
Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights, ” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods. The Hebrew word Chanukah means “dedication, ” and is thus named because it celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple. Chanukah begins on the eve of Kislev 25 and continues for eight days.
