Sunday 9:00am Weather Update - Event Canceled:  Due to rain in the forecast all day, tonight’s outdoor Menorah Lighting & Gelt Drop has been canceled. While we can’t celebrate together outdoors, we invite you to enjoy the last night of Hanukkah indoors with family and friends - and let the light of the season shine wherever you are!

Light spreads hope and joy!

Join Chabad of Marin and the City of San Rafael as we celebrate the last Sunday night of Chanukah on December 21st from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm in the Downtown San Rafael Plaza, 1000 4th Street.

Music, dancing, Giant Menorah lighting, treats, chocolate gelt drop, and so much more! Don't miss the exciting gelt drop by the San Rafael Fire Department and their ladder truck!

Working with the Marin/SF Food Bank, bring a non-perishable food item, and you will receive a free hot chocolate and latke!

Be THE light this year.
