Ignite a new tradition for Chanukah. IGNITE! opens with a community-wide Havdalah for all ages, then breaks into a choose-your-own-adventure of arts-based workshops, performances, and Jewish study sessions. The centrepiece of the program will include a hybrid live/virtual variety concert curated by the Ashkenaz Festival, in which artists from around the corner and around the world will bring us fresh musical performances inspired by the themes of the season. Kosher food for purchase. All are welcome!

Family tickets provide access to the inter-generational communal Havdalah gathering at 6 PM and to a shorter program for families with kids ages 5-12, with light kosher dinner included, after Havdalah.

Live and online options are available!
