About this event

Celebrate Hanukkah with an evening of hands-on learning, creativity, and delicious holiday treats! Families will discover the ancient story of Hanukkah through an Oil Press & Menorah-Making Workshop, where participants will recreate the process of pressing pure olive oil—just as the Maccabees did more than 2,000 years ago. Then, put your creativity to work by building and decorating your own custom Hanukkah menorah to take home and light during the holiday. Enjoy a festive family dinner featuring pizza and latkes, and we’ll end the evening on a sweet note with a fun Hanukkah donut-decorating activity! Come celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah together as a family. All ages welcome! [wpforms id="16494" title="false"]

Sigd Celebration

Mon, Nov 9 · 6:00 PM

The Riverdale YM-YWHA · North Riverdale

Join Riverdale Y and Be’chol Lashon for a special evening of film and conversation marking Sigd, an Ethiopian Jewish holiday. The program will feature selected scenes from Heroes, an upcoming documentary by Ethiopian Israeli filmmaker Avishai Mekonen, currently in its final phase of production. The film explores stories of Ethiopian Jewish identity, community, history, and experience. Following the screening, Be’chol Lashon will moderate a conversation with Mekonen and Haftam Heathwood, two Ethiopian Israeli New Yorkers, who will share personal perspectives and explore the rich history and culture of Ethiopian Jewry, the experiences of Ethiopian Jews in Israel and New York City, and the significance of Sigd as both a cherished tradition and a living expression of Jewish identity. Come learn, listen, and celebrate the diversity of the Jewish experience through the voices and stories of the Ethiopian Jewish community. [wpforms id="16953" title="false"]
