All are welcome to Hanukkah happenings at Temple Beth Shalom in Florida

Florida — All are welcome at Temple Beth Shalom, 13 Roosevelt Ave. in the Village of Florida for the following Hanukkah happenings: • On Sunday, Dec. 2, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., a Hanukkah card workshop will be held. Learn to craft handmade Hanukkah cards with Debbie Kittay-Heffler. • Thursday, Dec. 6, at 5 p.m. “Drum Tales: The DeLIGHTful Story of Chanukah.” The story is brought to life through this interactive program featuring percussive instruments. The story is set in ancient Israel, the land of the mighty Maccabees. Join us for this exciting tale of mystery, miracles, triumph, joy and a single bottle of olive oil. Sponsored by Jewish Federation of Greater Orange County. Drum Tales is fun, interactive, percussive and musical. It is much like the traditional drum circle concept, yet taken to a new level, combining story-telling, musical instrumentation and song. Each participant is given a percussive instrument, which becomes their medium of transportation to far-away lands and exotic places, to ride the waves of mystery of an unfolding plot, and into the deep realm of imagination and the colorful beyond. Attendees must RSVP for this event. Call 845-651-7817. • Friday, Dec. 7, Hanukkah Shabbat Community Dinner, 6:30 p.m. Bring your menorah for a community lighting. Latke cook-off competition. Bring a platter of your family’s favorite latke recipe to the table. RSVP suggested. 845-651-7817. • On Sunday, Dec. 9, from 10 a.m. to noon, Temple Beth Shalom will hold its Hanukkah Family Fair. All are welcome to join in a fabulous family Hanukkah celebration that will include games, arts and crafts, singing, storytelling and latke (traditional potato pancakes) munching. Kids of all ages will move from station to station around the shul for family holiday fun. For information, call the temple at 845-651-7817 or visit www.tbsny.org.
