UPDATED INFO✨As we come to the end of this tumultuous year we hope that you will join us in coming together for Hanukkah. Chanukah offers us a time to reflect in community as the days have grown colder and darker — a chance to cultivate some light together to illuminate just where we have been and perhaps where we hope to go from here. We are excited to have a slate of events and offerings for Chanukah this year in the Denver and Boulder area. We will have in person events in Boulder and at the GEO ICE Detention Center in Aurora and we also plan on hosting virtual candle lightings hosted by various JVP members. Virtual nights are open to local chapter members as a chance to be able to light Hanukkah candles in community. Zoom links will be shared via signal for virtual nights. 12/14 UPDATED LOCATION: In person candle lighting at Boulder Central Park Bandshell 1212 Canyon Blvd, Boulder, CO 4:30 PM 12/15 Virtual 6-6:30 PM 12/16 Virtual 6-6:30 PM 12/17 Chanukah Vigil for Immigrant Justice and Palestinian Liberation at the Geo Group ICE Detention Center 3130 Oakland St. Aurora, CO 80010 6:00 PM 12/18-21 Virtual 6-6:30 PM No prior knowledge or experience with Chanukah or Judaism is necessary.
