## About

Menorahs & Miracles is the museum's Hanukkah celebration, held in partnership with Jewish Silicon Valley. Children play dreidel games, follow a miracles scavenger hunt, taste a traditional Hanukkah treat and learn the story of the holiday through an interactive performance by edu-tainer Koren Zuckerman. The Yavneh Day School choir sings at 11 a.m., and Hanukkah storytimes follow in English (12:30 p.m.), Hebrew (1 p.m.) and Russian (1:30 p.m.). Open to families sharing their own traditions and to those discovering Hanukkah for the first time.
