PJ Library is hosting a special Hanukkah event for grandparents and grandkids on Friday, November 27, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
Bubbe & Zayde's Hanukkah Party will be held at the Jewish Community Campus in the Social Hall. Grandparents are welcome, as are grandparent figures or "grand friends."
"By having this event the day after Thanksgiving, we hope grandparents who don't live in Kansas City and aren't typically able to celebrate Hanukkah like this with their grandchildren can join us," Bridey Stangler, Jewish Federation's Family Engagement Manager, said.
The event will feature Hanukkah snacks like jelly donuts, menorah place mats to decorate and Hanukkah plush toys to stuff and take home.
PJ Library hosts this event annual as part of their grandparents event series, made possible through the generosity of Jeff and Ronda Fromm. The series includes a Hanukkah event, summer Bubble Shabbat event, and other opportunities for grandparents and grandkids to share Jewish holidays and rituals with one another.
Registration for the event costs $5 per child to cover materials, and the event is open to any Jewish grandparents or grandparents of Jewish children.
Registration is requested in advance by Monday, November 23, and is available at JewishKansasCity.org/PJLibrary.
