Chabad of the North Peninsula is bringing the joy and fun of the holiday of Chanukah with a creative, Covid-friendly twist. The Drive-In Chanukah Event will be held in S. Mateo on Monday, November 29 at 5:30 PM, and is open to the entire community. Everyone is welcome to enjoy this year's celebration, with fun for the whole family. The event will feature live music and a lighting of our beautiful public menorah. A Glow in the Dark Experience by LA Rainbow Events will be a wonder to behold!
The holiday is one of the most popular among Jews because of what it represents: A monumental struggle and miraculous survival for the soul of Judaism. It's eight days mark the length of time a one-day supply of oil lasted in the holy temple in Jerusalem more than 2,300 years ago. The Syrians had desecrated the ancient temple in hopes of stamping out the practice of Judaism. But the oil lasted long enough for the Maccabees to repair and rededicate the temple. In commemoration of the miracle, Jews around the world light the Menorah as a symbol of light and liberty.
RSVP is required, and the location will be shared upon reservation. For more information and to reserve, visit chabadnp.com/drivein.
