This Chanukah, Tantzers welcomed more than 200 families from neighborhoods across the city, all navigating ongoing medical challenges, for its annual Grand Chanukah Party — an evening centered on warmth, dignity, and genuine joy.

Families arrived from many different neighborhoods to share a rare moment away from hospital visits and daily uncertainty, stepping into a space filled with light, care, and togetherness.

The celebration featured live music, dancing, engaging shows, hands-on activities, thoughtfully prepared food, and meaningful presents for every child. Each element was carefully planned to create an atmosphere where children could smile freely and parents could breathe a little easier.

As Chanukah candles were lit, the room reflected what Tantzers represents year-round: a community that shows up, creates space for joy, and reminds families that they are not alone.
