Hanukkah Homecoming: Rededicate, Reunite, Renew
Saturday, December 4, 2021, 4:00 to 8:00pm
Hanukkah Homecoming is inspired by the yearning for gathering together with our families, friends, and communities. Our purpose is to "come back together" in reunion, song, ritual, and relationship. Our Temple Sinai gathering will be an invitation to “come on home.” Hanukkah Homecoming is our opportunity to reconnect and celebrate the community coming together.
Join our Temple Sinai community for an evening* of light and laughter! Please be sure to RSVP for the dinner of hearty homemade salads and creamy macaroni & cheese! This event is free, but we encourage you to contribute to the celebration using the links below.
