Jewish Holidays and Culture

Hebrew School Holidays
Family-Friendly Holiday Celebrations
The Sunday School for Jewish Studies celebrates Jewish holidays with traditional food and fun. We build a succah at Succot; gather with dreidels, latkes, and jelly doughnuts at Hanukkah; celebrate Purim with songs, hamentashen, reading the megillah and a carnival; and hold model seders at Passover. We welcome and encourage parent participation at all holiday events.
