Lighting Up the Darkest Days
Community Art Project
Dec 7-14 / 87th and 89th Streets
Let's will celebrate the Festival of Lights with a light-up mural project. Using foam boards, paper, and LED lights, we will construct a large-scale hanukkiah which will be decorated with symbols representing the holiday. Each night of Hanukkah, another candle will be revealed. This installation is a collaborative project, where everyone will have a chance to participate through art workshops led by Ellen Alt, PAS Artist in Residence.

Virtual Dreidel by Rabbi Zauzmer
Rabbi Zauzmer and her husband Ben Zauzmer have created a new way to enjoy Hanukkah from home! Their website is designed for everyone who loves Hanukkah as much as we do and wants to keep the dreidel spinning even with those afar!
When a player's gelt pile is empty and they're required to put a piece of gelt in the pot, they will be eliminated. The last player remaining is the winner. Mazel tov!
