The tradition of lighting candles carries the powerful story of resilience and hope – a small flame that ignited a brighter world. This same light inspires us today to share our passion, ideas, and values with those around us. Whether you join for just one evening or experience the joy of Hanukkah throughout the week, come share in the warmth, light and togetherness at the JCCSF.

Come for the light, stay for the laughter and celebrate this beautiful tradition with us. Candle lighting will be on December 26, 27, 30 and 31 at 4:30 pm.
