Event Description:
A morning of celebration, creativity, food, and solidarity with Palestine!
Join Beyt Tikkun and Acorn Shabbat (link: https://acornshabbat.org/) for a joyful, child-centered Chanukah gathering in Joaquin Miller Forest! All ages are welcome — babies, kids, teens, parents, and everyone in between. We'll celebrate Chanukah while learning about the Palestinian olive harvest and the connections between land, trees, tradition, and community. Through hands-on activities, cooking and sharing food, play, and time together, we'll explore ways to celebrate and stand in solidarity with Palestine. Rabbi Cat will offer a short Chanukah teaching for all ages, followed by a smaller gathering for adults, where she'll share reflections and stories from her recent trip to Palestine.
Everyone is welcome!
