Second Annual Menorah Lighting

Wednesday, November 17, 2021

Each night of Hanukkah we will be lighting our inspiring nine foot outdoor menorah on the side patio of Unity Temple on the Plaza at the corner of West 47th Street and Jefferson across the street from Bo Lings Chinese Restaurant. Garage parking is available on the west side of Unity Temple.

The eight menorah lightings will take place each night starting the evening of November 28 and ending the evening December 5. All lightings will take place at 6:00 pm except for Friday, December 3 which will be held at 4:00 pm. We are planning for our lighting ceremony to be about 15-20 minutes. Come enjoy singing together and leave with Hanukkah gelt and jelly donuts!

We are asking all people who attend to bring food items to support the clients of Operation Breakthrough. Suggested items are pasta, canned spaghetti sauce, rice, boxed mac and cheese, canned soups and canned vegetables.

Prior reservations are requested. So, we may give all our members an opportunity to attend, please sign up for no more than one night at a time. Because of limited space, there is a 30 people limit for each night. If more spaces are available, you will be contacted.

Signup at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0D48A4A72DA4F85-second for your choice of evening. Please contact the temple office if you have any questions.

Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: November 21

This Shabbat reminds us that connecting with God can begin in the most ordinary way. In Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, a young girl raised with no religion simply starts talking to God. No formal language, no special moment — just honesty. Jewish tradition teaches that a relationship with the divine often […]

Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: November 14

Anger is not something to banish; it’s something to understand. It appears when something we value has been violated—a sign that our hearts are still alive and responsive. The task is to let that fire illuminate rather than consume. When we pause before reacting, we create space for wisdom and compassion to enter. Shabbat invites […]
