Menorah Lighting at Mitchell Park
December 18, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Congregation Tifereth Israel invites members and friends to Mitchell Park on Sunday, December 18th, at 5 p.m., to witness the lighting of Greenport’s Hanukkah menorah. In the spirit of ecumenism, the menorah will remain lighted throughout the holiday season, sharing the park with the Village’s Christmas tree in a display of friendship and respect among religions.
All those who attend the menorah lighting in the park are invited to join the members and friends of the congregation for a Hanukkah party in the community room of the synagogue. Refreshments including Latkes will be served.
For more information about the menorah lighting in Mitchell Park or The Latke Party at Congregation Tifereth Israel, 519 Fourth Street, Greenport, NY 11944 or call the synagogue at 631-477-0232.
Hanukkah Begins On Dec. 18: Get Gelt And Goodies At The Gift Shop
Menorah Lighting In Mitchell Park, Then Munchies At The Shul
With hardly a moment to spare between tasting the turkey on Nov. 26 and lapping up latkes on Dec. 18, you’d better check now to be sure you’re prepared with Hanukkah essentials. If not, happily the shul’s Gift Shop is well supplied with candles (plain and fancy), menorahs (large and small, including those adorable children’s menorahs in choo-choo train, ballet slippers, and soccer motifs), chocolate gelt (parve, of course), plus dreidels (fun for children and adults), and gifts galore — jewelry, menorahs, yarmulkes, mezuzahs, Kiddish cups, picture frames, stationery, and other items for Jewish homes.
Now for the celebration… Join shul members and their families and community friends at the official menorah lighting ceremony in Mitchell Park, at 5 p.m., on Sunday, Dec. 18. Rabbi Gadi will lead us in prayers and songs for the Holiday as the first candle glows, ushering in the eight-day holiday. He will be joined on the platform by shul president Judith K. Weiner and Greenport government officials. Then, everyone is invited back to the shul for refreshments and socializing.
For Gift Shop sales, call the shul at 631-477-0232 or email ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Sara Bloom.
