Congregation Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills to sponsor a Community Chanukah Celebration and Open House

Event to be held on Sunday, December 2nd

Congregation Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills and its Religious School will sponsor a Community Chanukah Celebration and Open House on Sunday, December 2nd, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the synagogue, 18 Shoolman Way (off Lodge St.) in Milton.

The Chanukah Celebration will feature a program to highlight the Bet Hamikdash and ancient Jerusalem when the Temple was destroyed. It will include understanding the gates around Jerusalem, the olive groves where the fresh olive oil needed to be made, lighting the olive oil, and creating a picture on canvas using charcoal and olive oil.

Other Chanukah activities for children and light refreshments will be available, and the entire community is invited to enjoy this festive holiday celebration. Chanukah is an eight-day celebration of freedom, commemorating an ancient Jewish victory over tyranny and oppression against overwhelming odds. It is observed this year from the evening of December 2nd through December 10th, 2018.

In addition, visitors are invited to meet Rabbi Alfred Benjamin and Education Director Nancy Mollitor, learn about the congregation’s programs and activities, tour our building, and get information about our Religious School and joining our synagogue family. RSVPs are greatly appreciated.
