Great Hanukkah party tonight at TI! 🕎✨
We wrapped up Hanukkah in style with great food, great company, and even better spirit. What a joyful way to celebrate together—laughter, light, and community at its best. Chag Sameach!

Temple Israel’s Richard Schnaittacher generously sponsored an America Israel Cultural Foundation concert featuring jazz/soul artist Dana Herz (vocals) and her jazz ensemble. Much of the music was composed by Dana. Every musician was breathtakingly talented; the concert concluded with a well-deserved standing ovation. The audience was able to meet some of the artists at a dessert reception that followed.

On December 11, the B’Yachad group watched the New Jersey Devils play the Tampa Bay Lightning. But this was no ordinary hockey game — it was the 11th annual Jewish Community Night at the Prudential Center! Our Temple Israel families took photos with a hockey stick menorah, spun dreidels in the concourse, and enjoyed a postgame concert by the world-famous Maccabeats! It was a thrill to welcome in the Hanukkah season with well over a thousand fans from Jewish organizations across the state — the highest turnout in Devils history — and we cannot wait to go back in 2026!
