Celebrate the first night of Hanukkah at the inaugural Jewish Cultural Festival at the Cary Arts Center. The Chabad of Cary, The Jewish Federation of Raleigh-Cary and Beth Shalom are teaming up with the Town of Cary to host an evening filled with entertainment, crafts and traditional Jewish foods.
From 4 to 9 p.m. on Dec. 20, families can enjoy activities such as candle dipping, clay dreidel making, olive oil pressing and the lighting of a nine-foot Menorah.
Multiple performances of singing, dancing and a children’s skit are scheduled throughout the festival. A performance by Jewish contemporary musician Dan Nichols will conclude the evening.
Donations of canned goods are being accepted through Dec. 19 for a “can-struction” of a menorah. After the festival, the canned food items will be distributed to those in need by the Inter-Fait Food Shuttle.
The “can-struction” will be displayed at the festival alongside other artistic menorahs and dreidels on loan from Cary residents. The festival is free and open to the public.
