In-Person Festival of Light Event Returns with Music, Crafts, Gallery Tours and More
The Jewish Arts Collaborative’s (JArts) signature Hanukkah: The Festival of Lights celebration returns in-person to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, on Thursday, December 15, 2022, with an evening of arts and activities marking the Jewish holiday.

This year’s program includes:
Community Candle Lighting
