IDAHO FALLS – Chabad Lubavitch of Idaho, a Jewish Center based in Boise, is gearing up for its fourth annual Chanukah celebration in Idaho Falls.
The eight-day Jewish festival will kick off with a community celebration on Dec. 14. It’s happening at the Shilo Inn in Idaho Falls and will include a program, Chanukah songs and live music, traditional treats and refreshments and a grand menorah lighting ceremony.
Rabbi Zali Lifshitz is leading the festivities. He explains more about the schedule in a conversation with EastIdahoNews.com.
“We’re going to have latkes (potato pancakes deep fried in oil), doughnuts, the traditional game of Dreidel, which has been played for thousands of years,” Lifshitz says. “We, of course, are going to share the words of Torah and explain the meaning behind the holiday of Chanukah.”
More than 100 people attended last year’s celebration, the largest turnout to date. Mayor Rebecca Casper attended and gave some remarks. Lifshitz is looking forward to kicking off the Jewish tradition in Idaho Falls again this year.
