Shabbat shalom! Chanukah is here, starting this Sunday night, December 22. There’s a concert Sunday night at the BJCC to welcome the holiday, then the lighting of the menorah in Boulder Monday night and in Louisville at Chanukah on Ice Sunday night December 29th. Check out all our Chanukah posts, and more to come.
And last night, Flatirons Tribe put on a great tenth Ignite Chanukah at Rembrandt Yards — story and pictures to come after Shabbat.
Stay warm, and have a great weekend. Enjoy!
