One of the central themes of Chanukah is "Pirsumei Nisa"–the mitzvah of publicizing the miracles of the holiday. We fulfill this by lighting the Menorah in a place where its glow can be seen by all, sharing the story of the small jug of oil that miraculously burned for eight days, and of the few who triumphed over the mighty.
But Pirsumei Nisa goes beyond recalling ancient miracles. It also celebrates the ongoing miracle of the Jewish people. Throughout history, many have tried to silence our light and erase our faith - yet we continue to shine. Each Chanukah, as we light the Menorah for all to see, we declare proudly and joyfully: the Jewish people live on, and our flame will never be extinguished.
We invite you this year to take part in this Mitzvah of Pirsumei Nisa by joining us for a public Menorah lighting on Honolulu Avenue and Ocean View Boulevard (NW corner), on Tuesday, December 8th, at 7:00PM.
There will be Chanukah music and dancing, as well as delicious jelly donuts and much more!
Please let us know you are coming by signing up below so that we can better prepare.
Happy Chanukah!
