~ A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle (James Keller)
Hanukkah begins on December 18th at Sundown and all across the Charlotte Metro area, Jewish families will be joining together to sing the blessings over the candles of their menorah to celebrate the great miracle that happened when a small drop of oil (enough for one day), lasted eight days.
And, as our metro area has grown in population, so had its Jewish community, bringing with it FIVE opportunities to celebrate Hanukkah with your Jewish neighbors and friends.
Below find the local menorah lighting festivities around Charlotte.
- Sunday, December 18th – Unite the Light @ Symphony Park, led by Chabad of Charlotte, 4:30 PM

Your kids will be able to play games, make crafts, have traditional Chanukah snacks and have fun with friends (new and old!). Reservations are required as space is limited.
