This year’s annual event will have us gathering outdoors at our new temple building at 186 Grove Street, Franklin, to celebrate the miracle of light. Join us as we light our outdoor menorah, say the blessings, sing Hanukkah songs, and eat special Hanukkah treats. We will have a fire pit to gather around to keep us warm, as it is traditionally a bit cold for this event. There will be a campfire treat for everyone to enjoy as well. Wear your favorite Hanukkah sweater, or sweatshirt to add to the festivities. We look forward to seeing you all there!

tot shabbat
Join us on the first Saturday of the month for our Tot Shabbat.
We’ll come together for a story, song and snack as we explore the traditions of Shabbat! It’s a wonderful chance to learn and celebrate in a fun, hands-on way. Temple Etz Chaim is committed to helping families with young children find a supportive Jewish community and a place to connect with other families raising Jewish children.
The Early Childhood Group designs its programing for children up to age 6 and their families. Early Childhood programs are open to both Temple Etz Chaim members and non-members. Our goal is to introduce Judaism to our youngest children through hands-on experiences, stories and fun.

Headlining NYC comedian Ariel Elias – as seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Plus local comedians to keep the laughs rolling.
Come early for appetizers, a cash bar, and a silent auction – because comedy pairs best with cocktails or mocktails and a little friendly bidding.
