Chanukah Skate Night at Heartwood Preserve

December 3, 2025

Welcome to what will quickly become another Omaha tradition. We are taking over the Heartwood pop up winter rink for a full four hour Chanukah party. To reserve your skating time just email the rink at the posted address. You do not need to be an ice skater to have a great time. There will be Israeli donuts, the latke truck, hot cocoa stations, crafts for all ages and the debut of our ice sculptured Menorah. When the sculptor finishes, we will light it together. Watching a Menorah emerge from a block of ice is a sight you will not forget.

Annual Menorah Parade

We are finishing Chanukah off with a bang. Join us as we parade across the city with lit Menorahs mounted on our cars. It is one of the most joyous, uplifting and proudly Jewish moments of the year. If you have never been in the parade, make this the year. If you have done it before, you know there is nothing like it.

Be part of the Annual Menorah Parade where music and fun Chanukah activities await you!

Chanukah Kick-off

December 3, 2025

The annual celebration returns, bigger and brighter. This year’s special feature will be a full balloon Menorah that will rise as the sun sets.

Music, menorah, community and pure joy. It is the perfect way to launch the Festival of Lights.
