PHOENIX Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, began Thursday at sundown.
While the pandemic has changed some of the ways it will be celebrated this year, dreidels will still be spinning and Menorah candles will still shine bright.
Many temples across the Valley will be hosting virtual gatherings and worship services this year.
Beth El Congregation in Phoenix will host a daily virtual Hanukkah lighting featuring a different family each night lighting their Menorah. The public is invited to join Zoom each night at 5:45 p.m., except for Saturday and Sunday, which will begin at 6 p.m.
