Chanukah on Pearl: Flames of Love

About This Event

Fanning the flames of love in a place once enflamed with hate A spark. A flame. A light. This year’s Menorah lighting will be something momentous. The Boulder Jewish community knows what it means to be targeted. We've felt the sear of hatred—when a firebomb was hurled at Jews simply for being Jews, right on Pearl Street. Now, we return to that very spot—not with shame, but with a roar of Jewish pride. We'll light a grand, neon Menorah that will ignite the mall and beyond, sending a message that echoes: Our love is stronger than your hate. As the stars light up the night, the familiar voice of Steve Brodsky leading Chanukah songs will fill the air. The smell of delicious sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts) and hot cocoa will warm up our hearts. A Judah Maccabee mascot will keep the spirits of the holiday electric with epic vibes to last us through the winter months. Because this is what we do: We persevere through the dark moments and flood the world with rays of light. The Maccabees stood against impossible odds. They refused to be erased. And goodness prevailed. A single flame can illuminate an entire room. Light doesn't just survive darkness, it eclipses it with an infectious embrace. Join us as ambassadors of light and love. Let's gather on Pearl Street and let our light shine brighter than ever—together. WHEN: Monday, December 15th at 5:30 PM WHERE: In front of the Courthouse Lawn on the 1300 block of Pearl Street, Boulder. RSVPs are not required BUT if you do RSVP by December 14th (boulderjudaism.com/pearl) you will receive a surprise gift when you arrive!
