Children and caregivers read books about the Festival of Lights, sing songs and look at original works of art — including a historic Hanukkah lamp from the museum's Judaic collection — while celebrating family traditions. Families also hear about PJ Library literacy resources that keep reading going at home. The 30-minute session is free and best for children 18 months to 4 years. ## Similar picks in Raleigh - [Light the Springs — Holly Springs Tree and Menorah Lighting](https://grassyknees.com/raleigh/activities/light-the-springs-holly-springs-tree-and-menorah-lighting--listing-0686da974b0bb64e94544d23) — Sat, Dec 5 · 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Holly Springs Cultural Center · All ages · checked Oct 24.
