Dear Friends,

In partnership with Jewish Long Beach, the Jewish Collaborative of OC, Temple Beth Shalom in Long Beach and Temple Ner Tamid in Downy are hosting two festive programs during Hanukkah featuring Argentinian Hazzan Jonathan Kohan.

First, please join us on Thursday night, December 26th (the 2nd night of Hanukkah) for A TREE OF LIGHT - a community candle lighting ceremony followed by a concert featuring Cantor Kohan, Cantor Judy Sofer, Rabbi Menachem Mirsky and an array of other performers. A celebration with food and drink will follow.

Reserve tickets for the concert here

Friday and Saturday, December 27th and 28th is Sábado Argentino - a dynamic Shabbaton led by two beloved Argentinian Jewish clergy, Rabbi Dany Mehlman and Hazzan Jonathan Kohan.

Cantor Kohan will share his musical expertise throughout Friday night and Saturday morning services punctuated by three Shabbat meals and great learning. The Shabbat will close with Havdalah and a community candlelighting for the 4th night of Hanukkah. 

Register for the Shabbaton by calling Temple Ner Tamid's office at (562) 861-9276 or write to David Saltzman at info@templenertamidofdowney.org with your contact information by December 23rd.

Please share the flyers below with your friends and family. This will be a memorable closing Shabbat for 2024!

We thank Jewish Long Beach for making these programs possible and look forward to celebrating Hanukkah with YOU!
