Yeshiva University Chanukah Programs and Activities Heat Up on Campus   Yeshiva University students and staff are gearing up for this year’s exciting Chanukah programming. A highlight of the fall semester, the holiday brings everyone together in celebration of the ancient Israelites' victory over the Greeks and the single jug of oil that lasted them for eight days. Singing, dancing and plenty of good food will mark this special occasion as the YU community commemorates Jewish history and the wondrous miracles that occurred so long ago. Here is a roundup of some of the events and activities happening on campus: December 13, 8 p.m.: Beren Campus Chagigah - Gone Campin’ The students of Stern College for Women and the Sy Syms School of Business will experience the “great outdoors” at this camping-themed chagigah in the Koch Auditorium on the Israel Henry Beren Campus.

According to Torah Activities Council President Temimah Kanarfogel, “The Chanukah chagigah is the chance for the entire Beren Campus to come together and celebrate Hanukkah on a communal level.
