oremetpr On Dec. 5, the final night of Hanukkah, Or Emet celebrated at the Cedarholm Golf Course community room in Roseville.
More than 40 people danced, sang, played dreidel, ate latkes and lit the menorah in solidarity against the darkness, and despite missing our friends through the pandemic.
A definite highlight was dancing the “Banu Chosech Legaresh,” an Israeli dance whose title means, “We came to get rid of the dark!” Dancing outside was a fun way to keep warm.

Thanks for posting these photos. It was wonderful to be able to celebrate as a community in ways that felt safe during this prolonged pandemic. The air was a bit nippy, which made the outdoor dancing all the more inviting, warming up our bodies along with our spirits.
