At present Hebrew calendar is full of fun holidays, and we invite everyone, young or old, to join us in celebration. Having fun is always great with close friends. We ensure that everyone finds something they enjoy doing. Our holidays come in all different forms: creative master classes, theater performances, captivating quests, entertaining games, and delicious food and drinks.
Rosh Ha’Shanah – Jewish New Year!
Sukkot – The Feast of Booths, a reminder of how the Jewish people wandered the desert.
Hannukah – We remember the victory of the fearless Maccabees against the Greek army and the freeing of the Jerusalem temple.
