Celebrate the first night of Hanukkah with WHC! Wear a Hanukkah outfit, bring your favorite Hanukkiyah (we’ll supply the candles), and be sure to leave room for latkes and sufganiyot at the oneg!

This is the first Shabbat of the month, which usually starts at 6:30 pm. Due to the holiday, we’re starting at 6:00 pm.

RSVP

We invite you to end your week and welcome Shabbat with us!

Starting at 5:00 pm , we’ll kick things off for our Families with Young Children at our monthly Tot Shabbat and Family Dinner .

At 6:00 pm and again after the service : Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community.

Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4, or create at a coloring table.

After the service – Stay for latkes, sufganiyot, dreidel spinning, and more!
