During this Festival of Lights, and in a week when the world feels especially heavy following the tragedy at Bondi Beach, we are deeply grateful for moments that bring light, joy, and connection. We are holding the Jewish community in Australia close in our hearts, knowing that celebration may feel hard or complicated right now. Jewish tradition teaches us to be a light in moments of darkness, and we hope you’ll join us in finding that light together by celebrating at home, camp style.
Tonight, we invite you to turn up the music and sing and dance like you’re at camp!
You don’t have to wait until the summer to feel the light that a camp song session brings, or the excitement and energy that spreads throughout an Israeli dancing party. Especially right now, creating joyful Jewish moments at home helps remind our campers and families that our light continues to shine. Celebrate the joy of Hanukkah and lean into the fun of the holiday by blasting your favorite Jewish tunes and Israeli dancing hits that you love from GFC! Make space in the living room and teach your family a classic camp dance like The Jessica or Miriam’s Song!
Check out our Spotify playlist HERE that has everything you need to make this dance party a reality at home!
Tag us on social media to share the ruach (spirit) and show off your best moves! @urjgfc
We wish you a light-filled 2nd night of Hanukkah as we pray for peace for the Jewish community in Australia and for everyone around the world.
L’Shalom,
The Greene Team
