Family Hanukkah Concert Featuring Singer, Alan Goodis

In what feels like a time where xenophobia and prejudice has infected our public discourse, we will be joined tonight (Dec. 9) at 5:35 pm by faith leaders of other Rye houses of worship to light the hanukkiyah, (Hanukkah menorah) on the fourth night of Hanukkah. This is a small but symbolic act to use light to dispel darkness, to remind ourselves that America and our faith traditions stand for tolerance, inclusion and hope.

“For happily the Government of the United States gives to bigotry no sanction...” (President George Washington’s letter to the Hebrew Congregations of Newport, Rhode Island, 1790)

This follows our Hanukkah concert featuring Alan Goodis, scheduled to begin at 5 pm.
