Two Khanike (Hanukkah) Celebrations with MameLoshn

Two Khanike (Hanukkah) Celebrations with MameLoshn

Hanukkah Party: Or rather, Khanike Party, and a Celebration of 30 Years of Yiddish KHANIKE with MameLoshn!

Featuring the local Yiddish Singing Group MameLoshn.

Sunday, December 21, the 8th candle of Hanukkah, MameLoshn presents two programs:

  • First, or children—preschool up to middle school—with their special adults:
    • Beginning at 4:30pm, an interactive concert designed for children,
    • Followed at about 5:15pm by a latke dinner.
  • Then, for adults and teens:
    • Beginning at 6pm, a latke dinner,
    • Followed at 6:30pm-8pm by a concert.

(The registration charge covers both the concert and the dinner.)

In both programs, we will:

  • Sing Hanukkah songs with MameLoshn.
  • Light Hanukkah candles–bring your menorah and candles—it’s the eighth night!
  • Enjoy a latke dinner—sufganiyot (jelly donuts) dinner, salad, cider, and, of course, latke!
    • Dinner after the concert for the kids’ programs (5:15-5:45pm), and
    • Dinner before the concert for the adult/teens concert (6-6:30pm)
    • Both are dairy meals; the latkes themselves are parve.
  • Enjoy Hanukkah gelt, play dreidel, and make Freylach (have fun!).
Freylach–Fun–for all!
