The ice skating rink, located at the heart of Union Square, in downtown San Francisco is filled with holiday spirit this time of year. Especially exciting is the Menorah Lighting and Hanukkah Celebration.
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE.
The last two nights of Hanukkah will be celebrated in San Francisco's Union Square. On Friday, December 18th, the Chanukah Celebration begins at 12:30p. The Menorah Lighting Ceremony starts at 3p. On Saturday, December 19th, the Chanukah Celebration begins at 7p. The Menorah Lighting ceremony starts at 7:30p, complete with songs and dancing.
Families can visit the Dreidel House and enjoy arts and crafts from 3p to 6p. Each child attending will be given their own Menorah to light.
The ice skating rink will remain open until January 18th and is available for public skating and private parties.
Happy holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our family to yours.
