Community Chanukah Party
Candlelighting, Crafts, Latkes, Music and More !
The Beit Rabban community celebrated Chanukah with music, dancing, games and crafts. Rabbi Alan led the candlelighting ceremony as the children sang, spun like dreidels and enjoyed traditional treats, like latkes and donuts, prepared by our own Chef Michel. A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR BEIT RABBAN PARENTS ASSOCIATION for coordinating this lovely event, and to CHEF MICHEL for all the wonderful goodies.
