Hanukkah at Temple Emanuel

Hanukkah at Temple Emanuel of Greater New Haven


Come join the fun and celebrate Shabbat Hanukkah at Temple Emanuel. On Friday, December 14, we will welcome Shabbat with a music-filled service led by Rabbi Michael Farbman and the Temple Emanuel Band, light our chanukiot together and enjoy a delicious latke dinner with family and friends. All are welcome to participate in this joyous annual event.  The service begins at 6pm; dinner reservations can be made by calling the Temple office at 203-396-3000 or on the TE website: www.templeemanuel-gnh.org.


Our Hanukkah celebration is just one of many exciting events for families, individuals and children of all ages at Temple Emanuel. Recent programs include our multi-generational sukkah build and family sukkot program, highlighted by an adult study session, the creation of decorations for the TE sukkah and a family-style potluck dinner. Simchat Torah was marked by another family program including adult study, the consecration of new religious school students and the opportunity for everyone in our community to dance with the Torah, with musical accompaniment by members of the TE Band. All of our events end with our famously tasty onegs.
