Join Bend the Arc and our partners for a special communal menorah lighting on the final night of Hanukkah. RSVP here.

Dear Friend,

Hanukkah brings more than light into our lives — it reminds us that we have risen up time and again against tyranny. In our tradition, we are always kindling the flame of justice.

Join us on December 17th for a unique (and virtual) communal menorah lighting on the final night of Hanukkah to light the path forward through the night and into a new dawn of hope and possibility in the new year.

Lights of Resistance: A National Hanukkah Candle Lighting

What: A special Hanukkah Celebration with Bend the Arc and many friends
When: Thursday, December 17th at 8pm ET/5pm PT
Where: Zoom
Bring: A hanukkiah (optional)
Attire: As festive as you’d like

During a time of collective struggle and pain, we welcome Hanukkah as a reminder that a great miracle has happened here. We rose up, in collaboration and deep partnership with our allies across lines of difference, to resist those who endangered all our communities. And we’re joining together now to celebrate this chance to renew our democracy.

This Hanukkah, we celebrate, we reflect, and we rededicate ourselves to the sacred work of building a country where all are free and safe, no matter what we look like or where we come from.

We’re bringing together over a dozen partners to throw a last night of Hanukkah party:

• Hanukkah lighting led by leaders of the Jewish resistance and our partners
• Special guests
• Music, learning, and community

Just as the miraculous oil burned until it’s job was finished — so do we commit to tending the flames of our spirit, hope, and effort. These lights won’t be extinguished until our task of building the society we dream of has been achieved.

In love and hope,

The Bend the Arc Team
