Menorah Lighting

Friday, November 17, 2023

The New Reform Temple Fourth Annual Outside Menorah Lighting December 7 – December 14

Each night of Hanukkah we will be lighting our inspiring nine-foot outdoor menorah at The New Reform Temple in front of the Krasne Garden.
The eight menorah lightings will take place each night starting the evening of December 7 and ending the evening December 14. All lightings will take place at 6:00 pm except for Friday, December 8. (See below) We are planning for our lighting ceremony to be about 15-20 minutes. Come enjoy singing together and leave with Hanukkah chocolate gelt and jelly donuts! On Friday night, December 8, we will be lighting the Menorah at 5:30 pm followed by Shabbat Services on 6:00 pm. After services, we will have a delicious Oneg Shabbat which will include Latkes. Come hungry.

Prior reservations are requested. Your reservation will help us plan for our refreshment each night.

Sign up by clicking here for your choice of evening including the Oneg Shabbat. Please contact the temple office if you have any questions.
