Shine a Light for Social Justice

This year on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, members of the Beth Jacob Synagogue community who have volunteered to be "lighting leaders" will light a menorah on Zoom to "shine a light" on one social justice issue. We invite the community to join us for these lightings and stand in solidarity with the marginalized people in our country. We are excited to be welcoming community partners on many of the nights including the Anti-Defamation League, Downstreet Housing and Community Development, Community Harvest of Central Vermont and more!
