SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ – November 12, 2025 – Temple Sholom of Scotch Plains today announced that it will host its annual Hanukkah Lego Night on Thursday, December 10 from 6 pm to 7:30 pm at Temple Sholom, 1925 Lake Avenue, Scotch Plains, NJ. Back by popular demand, the event is free and open to the public, RSVP is required.

Participants are welcome to build as many Lego creations as their hearts desire, while reveling in dreidel games, enjoying Hanukkah music. We will enjoy the sweetness of Hanukkah through good friends, and enjoying tasty donuts and chocolate gelt.

In Hebrew, the word “Hanukkah” means “dedication.” The name reminds us that this holiday commemorates the re-dedication of the holy Temple in Jerusalem following the Jewish victory over the Syrian-Greeks who tried to destroy the Jewish population in 165 B.C.E. Also known as the Festival of Lights, the eight-day festival celebrates the triumph of light over darkness.
