Around 90 people, including children, parents, and grandparents, attended PJ Library and PJ Our Way’s “Let It Glow: A Hanukkah Celebration” at the east side Barnes & Noble on Sunday, Dec. 2. Rabbi Billy Lewkowicz read “Our Eight Nights of Hanukkah” by Michael J. Rosen, illustrated by DyAnne DiSalvo. Children created glow stick menorahs, played dreidel and enjoyed chocolate Hanukkah gelt.

The THA students lit the menorah and led the office staff in the blessings. They toured the mayor’s office and admired the views overlooking Tucson, delivered a handmade gift for the mayor, and enjoyed cookies he provided.
