Congregation B'nai Moshe and JFamily have partnered together to bring Chanukah to you this year. On Saturday, Dec. 16, in Farmington Hills, and Sunday, Dec. 17, in Huntington Woods at 6:30 p.m., people of all ages will gather to celebrate Chanukah. There will be a candlelight hayride with a giant Chanukah menorah for the kids, a party with treats and drinks for the adults, games, snacks, as well as a communal candle-lighting for all. Congregation B'nai Moshe's post b'nai mitzvah teens, known as PB & J (Post B'nai Mitzvah & Judaism), have been working for months to plan and prepare for this event. The teens first studied about the history and halachah of Chanukah, then designed the décor of the float, built and painted the giant chanukiah, helped to promote the event, and will be at the parade each night to bring ruach and fun to all participants. Cynthia Roman and Shelly Milstein are working with the host homes to plan the parties. There will be hot chocolate and cider (with a little "oomph" for the adults) and Chanukah treats for all. The teens are ready to help provide an excit- ing musical Chanukah ride and the hosts are ready to welcome you to their homes for a fun Chanukah party. The JFamily team will be join- ing with songs and stories for the children, and the PB & J teens are ready to spin their dreidels in an epic dreidel showdown. For more information, contact Barrett Harr at Congregation B'nai Moshe, (248) 788-3600 or BHarr@ Bnaimoshe.orr.
