“ANNUAL WINTER FESTIVAL TO CELEBRATE THE WINTER SOLSTICE” with Host Milt Steinberg

December 16, 2025 by Robin

Sunday, 12/21, 2025

December holidays, celebrated in the dead of winter may have taken inspiration from earlier attempts by our ancient forebears to come to terms with the short, short days of this chilly season, when the sun seems to hide its face.

They, like our present day celebrants probably lit lights to brighten the long darkness. And they came together to confirm their social connection with ritual, just as we do today.

Join us for our annual Winter Celebration of unity, through the power of song, story, dance, music and a myriad of ESNW talents!

Volunteer your talents  contact Milt Steinberg at msteinberg@fordham.edu

It’s Pot Luck Time!
Bring Your Favorite Dish or Dessert to the Festivities!!
