This Hanukkah, we can take an active role to dispel the darkness and celebrate our connection.

Amid rising antisemitism, faith leaders are coming together across New York City, Long Island, and Westchester in the spirit of support and allyship.

Join together with friends and family across faiths and collectively shine a light as a symbol of unity.

Together, we'll stand shoulder to shoulder and side by side with neighbors and friends in faith, hope, and celebration.

Learn more on our website about what UJA is doing to address antisemitism.
