CMI Annual Chanukah Torch Run

  • Congregation Mishkan Israel 785 Ridge Road Hamden, CT, 06517 United States (map)

Join us on Sunday December 21 for the Chanukah Torch Run, an annual, fun-filled CMI tradition! We meet up at East Rock Park at 8:30 a.m. and jog/run to CMI, where a jubilant crowd greets us for the Religious School's lighting of our Hanukkiah at 9:30 a.m. Jeremy Schwartz will return as our Torch Run Captain this year and will lead our runners on the 1 mile walk to the East Rock summit and the 2.5 mile jog/run to CMI, while we carry our "authentic" torch from Modiin, the town where Chanukah originated. All ages and fitness levels are welcomed. PreK-6th graders must be accompanied by an adult. RSVP to Michelle if you would like to participate.
