8 Nights of Chanukah with the DJC! Night 8: Movie & Takeout

For the last night of Chanukah, let’s celebrate Christmas by observing the age-old tradition that Jews everywhere have been practicing — Chinese food and a movie! Join the DJC Movie Night Committee online at 6:00 pm as we light the last candle, and we’ll give you our picks for the best stay-at-home movie and take out combos!

A note from the Social Justice Committee:

Social Justice, Chanukah and ‘bringing in the light’.

Chanukah is a time of hope, family gathering, community, and being enlightened, both literally and metaphorically. Some people have been forced to hide in order to stay safe. Others have been rendered invisible intentionally, so we won’t see and care about them. In a world that is meant to be just, we must be compelled to see what is unjust, bear witness, and then advocate for and act to change. The DJC Social Justice Committee has been doing exactly this for many years, by deepening our commitment to tangibly create a more just world one project at a time. On Chanukah, we light eight candles. And this year each night when the DJC menorah is lit, you will light yours at home, and the Social Justice Committee will focus on a different issue, one for each night. This way we will illuminate what is critical, unequivocally declaring that social justice matters as we work together to create a more just world.

The Social Justice Committee is delighted to have been invited to dedicate 7 Social Justice initiatives, one for each of the candles at Chanukah beginning on December 19, the 2^nd candle and every night until the 8^th  and final candle. The dedications are as follow: Antiblack Racism, Climate Change, Food Banks, Homelessness, Refugee Settlement, Multifaith Connections and Truth+Reconciliation.
