hanukkah 2021

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: August 28

One thing that makes avoiding lashon hara difficult is that the words we say to another can be true and still cause harm. The question is not only whether our words are accurate. We also […]

Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: August 21

This Shabbat, I want us to think about gratitude as more than something we feel when life goes our way. Jewish tradition asks us to make gratitude a way of living. The first words traditionally spoken each morning are Modeh Ani. “I give thanks before You.” We say them before we know what the day will bring. […]
