Kabbalistic tradition of a hidden light that may be hiding in plain sight and especially apparent at Hanukkah. Get ready to experience darkness, light, and to light up the night. Bring a single candle or oil lamp and something to light it with. Rabbi David Zaslow will join Rabbi Julie Danan to provide music. Join us on Wednesday, December 9 at 5:00 PM.Tickets are sliding scale: $1-$18. All welcome.
