Hanukkah
Hanukkah is an audacious holiday. Even in times that can feel uncertain, we respond with light—adding one flame each night, building warmth, hope, and connection.
At BJ, we’re embracing this season with gatherings that bring our community together across generations. From candle lightings to Shabbat dinners, there are so many ways to share the joy and light of Hanukkah.
Hanukkah music from BJ
Our Hanukkah playlist features melodies and songs with Rabbis Roly Matalon, Felicia Sol, and Rebecca Weintraub; Hazzan Ari Priven; and others.
Hanukkah Illuminations
Beginning the first night of Hanukkah, keep an eye on your inbox for Hanukkah Illuminations: Stories from Our Community. Each evening, a BJ member will share a reflection on the light they’ve discovered—or helped ignite—within our community. May these stories kindle something bright in you this season.
If you don’t already receive emails from us, sign up below (if you are singed up for the weekly community email or Toward Shabbat, you will also receive these daily Kavannot throughout Hanukkah).
