The community came
out on Friday, Dec. 3, to
celebrate Temple Beth El’s
Hanukkah Extravaganza
Shabbat! The Kid-ish
Club started the night
with a special meet-up
before joining the Temple-
wide party for dreidel
competitions for all ages, a
beautiful sand art project
created by local artist Gail
Kaplan, latkes and donuts
from the Donut Bar food
truck, and so much more.

The celebration
continued with Temple’s
annual menorah lighting
in the Helen L. DeRoy
Sanctuary and a beautiful
Shabbat service with TBE’s
very own Music Shabbat
Band. Everyone enjoyed
being together. TBE
expresses deep gratitude to
sponsors Kristen and Carl
Gross, Jennifer and Jeff
Hollander, Carol and Steve
Tarnowsky, and the Beth
Elders.
