חנוכה Hanukkah Party Sunday afternoon, December 10th.
Hanukkah חנוכה means Dedication, and is the celebration of the Macabbee victory over Greek-Syrian genocide and assimilation, in ancient times, against all odds. This year the thought of Israel fighting against overwhelming odds is greatly on our minds!
The celebration will begin at 1:30 pm with shopping, and schmoozing. There will be craft activities for children, then a Children's Choir, followed by a serious presentation about the current Hamas attack and Hanukkah similarity. closing with 4 minute YouTube short on the war. Parental discretion on the short.
Finish the evening with a shared meal of victory by faith, of latkes & finger foods.
Again, this year: Homemade Donut/Fritter Contest! Make your prize-winning donut/fritter recipe at home and bring them ready to serve. Must be made fresh from scratch. Entries will be judged on appearance, taste, texture, aroma, and non-greasy palate. Prize will be awarded for the winning entry. More details and entry forms are here.

About Or HaOlam
Or HaOlam teaches Jewish life in the Messiah of Israel. We are part of a world-wide movement of Jewish Congregations and people of all ethnic groups who follow Yeshua (Jesus) in the context of Jewish lifestyle and identity. We meet weekly every Saturday morning at 10 am.
The Vision of Or HaOlam:
Working to bring Jewish people, and those grafted in, to their covenantal identity in Messiah. Implies: 1.) Salvation through the Atonement of the Messiah; personal faith in the atoning death and resurrection of Yeshua; it's all about the King 2.) Covenantal identity of Jewish people, not replacement 3.) Restoration to Torah lifestyle 4.) Restoration/survival of the nation of Israel. (Covenantal identity, so Jewish believers don't assimilate. Romans 11:15 "For if their casting Yeshua aside means reconciliation for the world, what will their accepting him mean? It will be life from the dead!)
