Congregation Gates of Heaven is thrilled to announce a special Family-Friendly Hanukkah and New Years Eve Party on December 31, designed to bring joy and togetherness to families as they welcome the New Year and continue celebrating Hanukkah. The event will take place from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Gates of Heaven.

This engaging celebration will feature a variety of activities to suit everyone in the family. Highlights include board games, themed crafts, a scavenger hunt, dance party, and movie marathon. Children and adults alike can test their skills in “minute-to-win-it” challenges or take part in the joyful balloon countdown. For those looking to create lasting memories, we’ll also be making time capsules and setting meaningful goals for the upcoming year. The event will include a delicious family style dinner, offering a time to relax and connect.

“We wanted to create an inclusive Hanukkah and New Year’s Eve experience where families can enjoy the excitement of the holidays together without staying out too late,” said Arnie Rotenberg, Director of Congregational Jewish Living “It’s a chance for people to come together, celebrate, and set positive intentions for 2025.”

The Family-Friendly New Year’s Eve Party will be held at Congregation Gates of Heaven. All families are welcome, and we encourage guests to RSVP in advance to ensure enough space for everyone.
