Holidays, 5769 (2008 - 2009)

ChanukiahThe Jewish calendar is full of joyous and meaningful holidays. After High Holy Days, join us for dinner in the sukkah during Sukkot and for hakafot on Simchat Torah to the music of the Tifereth Israel Ad Hoc Polyphonic Klezmer Orchestra. In December, we come together as a congregation to light our hanukkiot and in the spring, there is the raucous fun of our Purimspiel. Spend the second night of Passover at Tifereth Israel’s seder for the whole family or study late into the night for Tikun Leil Shavuot. These are only a few of the holiday celebrations that dot our calendar. All holiday programming is announced in detail in our Event Calendar.
