The SLO Jewish community is honored to continue its annual tradition of lighting the public menorah outside the Old Mission of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa each night of Hanukkah. All members of the SLO community are invited to join us to celebrate.
Hanukkah Downtown 2023 will begin on Thursday, December 7th and commence on Thursday, December 14. The menorah will be lit each night at 5:00pm by a local Jewish organization.
2022 Recap: The first night’s candle was lit by Rabbi Micah Hyman. Mayor Erica Stewart and Assemblymember Dawn Addis spoke. First night of Hanukkah festivities at the Mission Plaza included local Jewish organization booths, Rabbi led prayers and songs, and fun.
