“Chanukah is about the triumph of good over evil,” says Rabbi Yale Spalter, program director at Chabad NP. “The Menorah reminds us that even the tiniest spark of light can outshine tremendous darkness. This was true for the Maccabees of old, and it is true for us today, on both an individual and communal level.”

Jewish Blues musician Saul Kaye will perform live, mixing it up with traditional Chanukah tunes and modern Israeli music. “Our goal is to make it fun and exciting for the entire family,” says Rabbi Yosef, Marcus,

Director of Chabad NP. “Whether you are a toddler, teen or senior, everyone enjoys the Burlingame Chanukah party. I hope to see you there.”
