Days are getting shorter, and the long winter is just around the corner. As we look toward the darkness and cold of Kislev, we are reminded that we can create our own light. Kadima, Temple Beth-El's early to mid-career professionals' group, is excited to host the first Dreidel Dance, a fundraiser supporting New Urban Arts, at the Art Club on Saturday December 9th from 6-9pm. Celebrate Havdalah and Hanukkah with pizzazz, dancing, vegetarian hors d'oeuvres and adult beverages. Get a babysitter. Dress up and get down! All adults are welcome. Sign-up here. ~ Carl Shulman
