An American Jewish-Swedish Chanukah Celebration... In Orlando.
Free to attend. You are invited to join Brian for this Jewish-Swedish celebration where you may order anything off the IKEA® Orlando Restaurant menu, at your expense, and then dine together during the last night of Chanukah. There will be dreidels, there will be electric menorahs, there will be Swedish Fish®. If you happen to have a dreidel or an electric menorah, bring it! (The more the Chanukahier!) After dining, we will wander, like our ancestors did, through the IKEA® Lighting Department and join together in singing Peter Yarrow’s (Peter, Paul & Mary) Chanukah classic, “Light One Candle.” Next year in Älmhult!
