The menorah was built on-site by children and their families.

It was completed around 11 a.m. Sunday morning.



The event also included a DJ-hosted dance party, buffet lunch from Pop-Up Bagels, treats from the Doughnuttery, and Instagram-ready photo booth, crafts, face painting, and a bounce house.



It will be on display at the Temple's lobby until the end of the holiday season.
