Join the Holy Blossom Community for a robust schedule of Chanukah programs taking place online and in person. Let us spread the light and warmth of Chanukah together!

Each night at 6:00 pm an extraordinary HBT congregant will be honoured with lighting the chanukiah on behalf of the community. These eight “Lights of the Congregation” were nominated by members of our community for their outstanding commitments to Holy Blossom Temple.
