Chanukah Helicopter Gelt Drop & Giant Menorah Lighthing

On Tuesday, December 4 at 6:00 pm the ancient custom of giving children gelt (money) on Chanukah will be taken to a whole new level. You will witness the dramatic Helicopter Gelt Drop!

After the chocolate coins rain down from the sky in a spectacular shimmering shower, the kids
will rush in and collect their treasures.

Lighting up the night at the Nocatee Splash Park, families are invited to a Chanukah Light Show followed by the kindling of a Giant Glowing Menorah. The show will be accompanied by lively music and a delectable smorgasbord of Chanukah treats. The lighting of a dazzling Glow-in-the-dark Menorah and the joyous, family atmosphere will be sure to keep children and children-at-heart engaged and entertained throughout the evening.

"Chanukah brings generations together, surrounded by the light of tradition," said Rabbi Mendel
Sharfstein, Director at Chabad of St. Johns. "During the time of the Chanukah story our
ancestors rededicated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem with the lighting of the Menorah. Today,
we rededicate ourselves to making this world a better and brighter place.”

As part of a global effort to bring the message of light, love and warmth to the public, Chabad of St. Johns joins thousands of Chabad centers across the globe in staging public Chanukah celebrations. From Australia to Africa, Columbia to Hong Kong, New York City to the White House Lawn, hundreds of thousands will experience the joy of Chanukah at Chabad-organized festivities this year.

This special celebration is FREE and open to the public and will be held on Tuesday,
December 4 at 6:00 pm at the Nocatee Splash Water Park.
