Parents: Will the Real Chanukah Please Stand Up?

December 2, 2009

Chanukah can be a complex holiday

Chanukah can be a complex holiday

A Jewish Parenting Workshop that addresses some of the thorniest issues during this holiday season.

We’ll look into the contentious historical roots of Chanukah, many of which parallel questions of adaptation and acculturation that we still contend with today!

We will try to articulate what we want Chanukah to really be about for our families as well as how to generally reclaim the holiday from commercialism and co-optation into the ‘Jewish Christmas’. We will discuss the particular challenges that we face at this time of year, as well. Please bring your thoughts, questions, family traditions, favorite children’s Chanukah books.

FREE and open to the public.

Saturday, December 5, 3:15-4:45 pm
Please RSVP ASAP.
Facilitator: Deborah Eisenbach-Budner.
