Event Description
Join the Vancouver Jewish Folk Choir for a festive Hanukkah performance at the Richmond Public Library!
The Vancouver Jewish Folk Choir celebrates Hanukkah through both of its major messages: the family and home as a source of comfort, and the importance of reckoning with injustice and cruelty in our world. Join us as we sing our way through songs in four languages (English, Yiddish, Hebrew, and Ladino), some serious and some joyous, to mark the return of light at the moment of deepest darkness.
Sunday, December 6th, 2026 from 2:30-3:30pm
Richmond Public Library, Brighouse Branch
