This year, no one lights alone! NEXTGen Detroit has eight glowing nights lined up so we can all burn brighter together. Every evening, a new special guest will join us on Zoom to lead us in lighting the menorah and bring a unique way to celebrate the holiday!
Whether you’re lighting solo, with your family or with pod mates — we hope you’ll sign on for one or all eight nights!
Night 1: December 10 @ 5:00 PM
To kick off the first night right, we’ll be tuning in to the 10th Annual Menorah in the D event streaming live from Campus Martius in Detroit! Note: Just for this night, a separate registration through the Menorah in the D website is required, which will get you one of their complimentary Lamplighter kits to help you enjoy the event even more at home.
