6th Night of Chanukah – Chanukah Mitzvahkah
Tuesday, December 12 | 6:00 PM
Spread the light with an evening of celebration and community service. Chanukah Mitzvahkah is a B’nai Israel tradition where we focus on the importance of giving rather than receiving. It’s an opportunity for us to come together and do a mitzvah for some of the most vulnerable in our community.
Join us to light the menorah (don’t forget to bring yours!), sing some Chanukah songs, play a little dreidel, eat some pizza and treats, make care packages of toiletries and personal items (our goal this year is 500 bags of personal items), and collect food for the unhoused and food insecure (our goal is 500 units of various food items). Donations support the River City Food Bank in Sacramento.
Please complete the participation form to:
- RSVP to attend and help assemble packages on December 12,
- Pre-order a pizza dinner to enjoy at the event while supporting the Confirmation Class,
- Make a monetary contribution towards the purchase of supplies, and/or
- Select specific items to donate from the supply wish list.
Please order your pizza dinner by Friday, December 8.
If you have any questions, please call 916-446-4861 or email inquiry@bnais.com.

Last year’s olive oil fundraiser was such a great success, the Confirmation Class is offering it again this year! In addition to the delicious premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, we’re offering three flavored oils: basil, lemon, and garlic.
What a perfect Chanukah gift! A lovely present to take to a holiday party!
