Hanukkah Get Together Idea: The Great Dreidel Night

A family gathered around a table playing with a dreidel

Holidays are always special. They’re extra special when we spend them with the people we love. And hosting friends for Hanukkah, or any Jewish holiday, doesn’t have to be complicated. PJ Library wants families to get together this year to do something Jewish. This is the first in a new series all about how to host simple hangouts with other families in your area. To kick things off, we’re tackling an easy one: dreidel night for Hanukkah. And for more ideas, flip to page 27 in your new PJ Library guide, A Time to Hope, for TONS of Hanukkah activities, how-tos, music, and more.

Do you have some attendees who aren’t quite ready for dreidel just yet? Listen to one of PJ Library’s special child-friendly podcasts, enjoy a read-along for toddlers and babies, or listen to a sweet story together.
