This year, Franklin Jewish Social’s Hanukkah celebration, THE MIRACLE OF LIGHT, will be held on Public Square — Dec 30th from 5-8PM, with plenty of space for all of our friends and neighbors. As the first year to ever host Hanukkah on Public Square, this celebration of light in the world will be an historic moment!
In a time when cities all around the world are making choices that squelch Jewish community, the City of Franklin chooses to stand for religious freedom. It is the bravery and support of the City that has helped propel Franklin Jewish Social to continue moving forward during a difficult time for Jewish people, both in America and around the world.
This night is important to our local community, our Jewish residents, and to all Americans — when one of us stands for freedom, we all stand together. Be a part of history making by joining Franklin Jewish Social to celebrate the light in this world.
This giant block party will feature The Promise Sessions on music, The Star of David artist market, the story of Hanukkah and a group menorah lighting led by Rabbi Saul Strosburg, along with words from Everybody Loves Raymond’s Patricia Heaton, Country Music star Omer Netzer, Risa Binder and more.

Children’s activities, artist market and a beautiful sea of lights on this 5th Hanukkah night – the first 1,000 attendees will receive a commemorative event pin!
