Let's all get LIT!!! Menorathon on Friday, December 23 at 7:30pm is the perfect place to do that. This is a magical time for everyone. The light created from all the menorahs burning at once is mystical. And then there's song, worship, and food. Couldn't be a better evening. Bring your menorahs, candles, matches, stuff to share. Let there be light!
