No matter how you spell it, Channukkah is an awesome time of the year. For the first time in years, all 8 days of Channukkah fall during the Wesleyan University Academic Year and the Jewish Community has thought of lots of fun ways to celebrate.
This year the Wesleyan Jewish Community will be hosting communal candle-lighting in different lounges and locations throughout campus. And yes, there will be chocolate gelt and dreidels. All are invited.
Dates and locations:
- Tuesday, Dec. 4: Olin lobby
- Wednesday, Dec. 5: Nics lounge
- Thursday, Dec. 6: SciLi lobby
- Friday, Dec. 7: Bayit
- Saturday, Dec. 8: Usdan, ground floor
- Sunday, Dec. 9: Butt C lounge
- Monday, Dec. 10: Bayit
- Tuesday, Dec. 11: WestCo lounge
And, there is a huge annual Channukkah Party in the Bayit ( Jewish Program House ). This is always a well attended event ( by celebrators and non-celebrators alike ) with campus bands, home made latkes, and gelt galore.
So, to all celebrating: Happy Channukkah.
To all: Have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Safe New Year!
