Shalom Sesame Chanukah Celebration

Saturday, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Celebrate the 4th night of Hanukkah with a special premiere event, of "Chanukah: The Missing Menorah" where Grover gets in a tizzy when his friend loses her special menorah during a game of tag, just before Hanukkah.

The event will include homemade latkes, a Sesame moon bounce, candle making, and face painting.
