More than 20 members of our Community met on 14th. December to celebrate the last night of Chanukah.

As the festival was much earlier this year, the ceremony was hosted by Jackie and Alan. Everyone met during the afternoon to enjoy afternoon tea and homemade cakes, along with catching up with old friends.

Once the evening started, everyone went into the garden, where Alan started by reciting a prayer for the Israeli Defence Forces. This is a little unusual, but was felt necessary due to the war in Israel.

After this; the barochot for Chanukah were recited in Hebrew and English.

The menorah was lit, and Hanerot Halonu was sung along with Moa Tzur, after which wine and donuts were enjoyed by all.
