Kol Ami Hanukkah Celebration

December 13, 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm

Families and Kol Amites of all ages are invited to gather by Zoom to light candles, sing songs, schmooze, and more! Schmoozing will begin at 5pm with the Hanukkah program beginning at 5:30.  We’ll hold our first (annual?) Latke-Hamantash Debate, wherein an esteemed panel of Kol Ami members will expound on the superiority of one of these foods, with arguments buttressed by the cherished tools and techniques of their chosen professions, yada yada yada … and a good time will be had by all!  Kol Ami folks are invited to contribute a one-minute videotape of anyone in their family answering the age-old question:  Which is better, a latke or a hamantash?  Invite your friends and neighbors, and join the fun!
