Gift Shop Chanukah Open House Sunday, December 6 1:00 – 2:00pm

The Gift Shop stocks an extensive selection of Chanukah merchandise including menorahs, candles, gelt, games, decoration, toys, books, and greeting cards. Please bring your shopping list and patronize the Gift Shop. You may also schedule a time to meet Herb at the Gift Shop. Contact the office for information.
