Tri-Valley Cultural Jews, the bay area's Secular Humanistic Jewish community, celebrates the meaning of Chanukah while honoring the actual history of the event. Chanukah marks the success of one faction during the Maccabean wars against the Greek Empire in the second century BCE. TVCJ's Chanukah celebration features a candle lighting ceremony honoring freedom fighters of many cultures, and, of course, the traditional fried potato pancakes – latkes. Appropriate for adults and kids. Bring a potato and a side dish to share, along with your Chanukah menorah and dreidles.
