Creative Chanukah Celebration


“This was the best Chanukah party I’ve ever had,” exclaimed a 7-year-old girl as she left the party. Our two hour celebration held in Midwood Brooklyn included activities such as candle making, teddy bear decorating, Jewish origami, and cookie decorating. The event was held especially for our clients and children from Met Council’s Family Violence program. With the help from our volunteers from Brooklyn Tech Key Club, it was a success. It ended with pizza, gifts for each child, and more importantly, smiles on everyone’s face! Thank you UJA for funding our Creative Chanukah Celebration.
