At Hanukkah, the menorah holds nine candles. But there are only eight nights. The ninth candle is the shamash and is the candle used to light the others. We will explore stories and lessons of the shamash candle and what it might teach us.
We welcome you to our beloved community! We offer both in-person and livestreamed services. See our Worship page for details!
