December 15-16, 2017
Chanukah at Bet Alef is a joyful celebration of light and the commemoration of an ancient miracle. It is a time for us to reflect on the light that we bring into the world and focus on the miracles of life around us. It is also a time for beautiful music, family, friends and delicious food.
This year join us for our Chanukah Shabbat eve dinner and service, and for our Shabbat morning young-families celebration.

Community Chanukah Celebration

Join us in our Chanukah celebration this Shabbat! Rabbi Olivier will invite us in considering the story of Chanukah as a mirror to the socio-economic political tectonic plates colliding in our world today.
As it has been our tradition each year, bring your Chanukiah and 5 candles(as this will be the 4th night of Chanukah) to fill our sanctuary with light.
