We invite you on Monday, December 30. at 18:00 to a joint celebration of the Festival of Lights at the Marek Edelman Dialogue Center in Lodz.
Rabbi of Lodz, Dawid Szychowski will light another candle on Hanukkah and talk about the roots of this tradition and the religious basis of the December holiday. The Hanukkah evening will be highlighted by a performance by Yuri Vedenyapin. There will, of course, be doughnuts, which - fried in oil - symbolize the miracle of the multiplication of oil after the recovery of the Jerusalem Temple.
