(Almost) like in the Charmille
The Jewish festival of lights, Hanukkah, commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BCE, after its destruction. The eight-day festival is celebrated primarily with family and friends. And for once at MUKS, which, together with the Israelite Community of Basel (IGB), invites you to celebrate with lighting candles, Hanukkah songs, Wienerli sausages, and sufganiot. In addition to information about the festival and anecdotes from the Charmille days, our tables with games also invite you to linger.

With Steffi Bollag (President of the IGB Basel), Peter Bollag, members of the synagogue choir and the IGB, and Miriam Cohn (Head of Education and Outreach at MUKS). For Jewish and non-Jewish people of all ages. Space is limited, so registration is requested.
