Cultural Event for AWER Members and Interact Students
Hanukkah Celebration and Experience

When all of the candles are lit on the 8th night it is an impressive and brilliant vision of hope and community.

  December 5 at sundown was the last night to light the menorah for Hanukkah 2021. When all of the candles are lit on the 8th night it is an impressive and brilliant vision of hope and community. On the morning of December 5, AWER members and Interact students from Booker T. Washington High School, who are also L.E.A.D. Ambassadors, came together at LEAD Center For Youth to celebrate this annual Jewish holiday. We had the good fortune to have Molly Edlein, a former summer Rabbinic intern from The Temple and President of Hillel at Agnes Scott College, lead the celebration, teach participants about how and why Hanukkah exists and experience what may be involved in a family celebration of the holiday. She also answered questions generally about Jewish culture and traditions. In addition to lighting the candles, we had latkes with applesauce and sour cream, and learned how to play dreidel.
