Hi friends,
Now that it’s November and the new Jewish month of Cheshvan, it’s time to start thinking about Hanukkah…right?!
MAOR and MJP are planning a Hanukkah Across Montana on Sunday, December 29th at 6:00pm MST. (29 Kislev, 5785.) We want to make sure that this doesn’t interfere with events that any of your communities are planning. Please let me know if there’s a conflict. In the meantime, please mark the date on your calendars!
I will be coordinating the outline this time. Please let me know if you would like to lead something and if you have a preference for what that might be. Options could include the Hanukkah candle blessing, a Hanukkah story or song, a poem, a particular prayer in Hebrew or English, or anything along those lines.
Shabbat shalom and chodesh tov!
