    A menorah is meant to be seen. So we put ours on a car and drive it around Chanukah, parked where the kids already are. One night, we stop and build menorahs together.

    First night on the road: Saturday, December 5, after Shabbat

    Spot the car anywhere within about 25 minutes of Freehold: Monmouth County and the nearby edges of Middlesex and Ocean. Post your kids’ menorah in the parents’ group.

      Anchor night

      Build a menorah.

      Sunday, December 6, 5 pm. The stop is posted in the parents’ group that afternoon.

      The one craft of the season: every child builds a menorah to take home and light. Free, while supplies last.

      Forecast for Freehold, anchor night

      The forecast shows up here about two weeks before.

      * Weather permitting. We’re outdoors in December. If there’s heavy rain or snow, ice, or wind over 25 mph, we move the anchor night to the next road night and post it in the parents’ group by 2 pm that day.

      We film the car, the menorah, and little hands making crafts. A child’s face is shared only with a parent’s OK, and we never post a location while a family is still there.
