You know the song, now make it real! Join other LGBTQ families to decorate dreidels (or menorahs)!

Children and their parents/adult family and friends are invited to sing the tunes as you create, reminding us all of the miracle of lights, the fun games, and the joy this holiday season brings.

Dreidel

Come for an exploratory event celebrating the Chanukah miracle through fun and games! Children and adults will have opportunities to personalize a driedel or menorah, and just play.

Plus, adults can connect with other LGBTQ families.

(Your dreidel will be “dry and ready” in plenty of time for spinning during Chanukah!)

All are welcome! 

Presented in partnership with Rainbow Families, the DC area’s largest network of LGBTQ-parented families, and GLOE Youth & Family — an initiative of GLOE - The Kurlander Program for GLBTQ Outreach and Engagement at the Edlavitch DCJCC.
