13 Light Up (The Menorah)
Last year, the iconic Boathouse
Row was transformed into a me-
norah as part of the city’s effort to
be more inclusive around the holidays. It
was lit up in red, green, silver and gold
for Christmas, and there was program-
ming for Kwanzaa as well.

Boathouse Row will once again be lit
as a menorah and the city will host an
event on the first night to celebrate the
holiday and light the “menorah.” More
details are forthcoming. Mayor Kenney
joined the festivities on the sixth night
last year.

Lubavitch of Center City also holds
an annual giant menorah lighting in Rit-
tenhouse Square. This year’s lighting will
take place on Dec. 17 at 5 p.m., per the
Friends of Rittenhouse Square website.

2 Celebrate Christmas
OK, so maybe not actually, but
there are ways to spend the holi-
day besides seeing Star Wars three
times in a row (no judgment, though).

Here’s a riddle for you: What rhymes
with Christmas? Chinese food.

The Gershman Y will hold its sta-
ple Moo Shu Jew show on Christmas
Eve at Ocean Harbor Restaurant. Af-
ter chowing down on a multi-course
Chinese meal (not kosher), digest with
some laughs from this year’s lineup of
comedians: Moody McCarthy, Marla
Schultz and Brad Zimmerman. Regis-
tration is required at gershmany.org
or call 215-545-4400.

On Christmas itself, there are ways
to spread Jewish joy and celebrate the
holiday as well. The National Museum
of American Jewish History will hold
its annual “Being __ at Christmas” pro-
gram. Keep an eye on nmajh.org for a full
schedule of events.

All of the Lights,
All of the Lights
There’s a reason the Macy’s Light

century. Watch reindeer, ballerinas and
snowmen twirl and twinkle as 100,000
lights (energy-efficient LED lights, for
those who care about the Earth) form a
magical winter show on display begin-
ning Nov. 24.
