Hanukkah 101

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 20 December 2024

At this time of year, it's easy to forget that not everyone in New Zealand celebrates Christmas. Hundreds of thousands of New Zealander don't observe the religious holiday. This year, December the 25th holds special significance for the Jewish community - it's the first day of Hanukkah. Joining me now is Abby Bachhalter. Abby is part of the lay leadership team at Temple Sinai - the Progressive Jewish Congregation in Wellington.
