Chanukah Together

Wednesday, December 17, 2025
8:30 PM - 8:50 PM
9915 Apple Ridge Road Gaithersburg MD 20886 United States
SVIVAH

Chanukah is all about pushing away darkness by bringing in more light. We know that being together makes that light so much brighter. SVIVAH is gathering three times during Chanukah to light candles together, celebrate with each other, and share some Chanukah learning — including a celebration of Hag HaBanot, a beautiful Sephardic feminist holiday celebrating women*s friendship and sisterhood with its roots in North African Sephardic communities. This the light we need right now – you, us, wonderful teachers, and honoring spectacular women*. It’s everything we love to celebrate.
