Our Hanukkah Guide for East Bay kids is sponsored by the Jewish Federation of the East Bay. This year Hanukkah begins on the evening of Sunday, December 2, 2018.
Happy Hanukkah from Sprout: Helping Jewish Families Grow Together! Sprout, part of Jewish Federation of the East Bay supports families in the East Bay interested in Jewish living, learning and growing together.
Hanukkah is a time for family, friends, joy, and of course, light. We are sharing this list of events taking place in the East Bay and hope your family enjoys eight days of celebrating miracles and connecting to one another.
Here are some great Hanukkah books from PJ Library to get you in the mood for latkes and lights.
