Let's illuminate the Jewish quarter

Commemorative celebration

Wednesday, December 5,

Museu d'Història dels Jueus

Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, is celebrated every year on the 25th of the month of Kislev in the Jewish calendar and commemorates the victory of the Jews over the Greek occupation (2nd century BC) and the subsequent purification and renewal of the Temple. The tradition is to light an eight arm candelabra, called Hanukkiah, gradually for eight days, every evening with a candle. This year the festival begins on the night of December 2nd.

We will light the Hanukkiah in the courtyard of the Bonastruc ça Porta Center. The lighting will be in charge of the collective of the Nova Escola Catalana.

We will taste a traditional sweet cake and we will carry out activities around this party.

Free entrance, limited seats.
