Shalom b’Harim Hanukkah Service and Festival

Shalom b’Harim is pleased to invite the entire North Georgia Jewish community – including children and grandchildren of all ages – to join us for a fun, family-oriented Hanukkah Festival on Saturday, December 28, at 4:00 p.m. at Unity of Gainesville. We’re planning:

·    A competition to select the best-tasting latkes

·    Activities for kids including coloring and building eco-friendly menorahs out of natural materials

·    Playing dreidel

·    Menorah-lighting (bring your own!)

·    Music and more

Our celebration will begin with opening prayers led by Rabbi Matan Peled and also will feature a Havdalah service conducted by our President, Miriam Rosenberg.

 We’re asking everyone to bring something to share for our Hanukkah feast – latkes, sufganiyot (jelly donuts) or another treat. We’re also looking for volunteers to help with our activities. Please use this link to register. 

As the Jewish Community of the North Georgia Mountains, Shalom b’Harim serves residents of Hall, Dawson, Forsyth, Habersham, Lumpkin, White and other North Georgia counties.

In support of our 2024 Tikkun Olam project supporting Georgia Mountain Food Bank, we’re requesting donations of peanut butter and jelly (low sugar) this month. Thank you, as always!
