The Heart Behind the Theme

How will you "Choose the Light"?
Take a moment to reflect on your own inner light and write a note, blessing, or mitzvah you commit to bringing into the world. Share how you plan to add more light, kindness, and goodness. Place your message inside the clear orb, add a glowing light cube, and hang it from our Trees of Light. Together, we’ll create a shimmering forest of hope, filled with intention, warmth, and meaning.

Self-care with a purpose. Light that gives back.
Discover the twins’ all-natural skincare line - thoughtfully crafted with love as part of their mitzvah project to support trauma victims affected by the October 7 attacks and the war that followed. Each soothing, handmade product reflects their mission to bring comfort, healing, and hope to people around the world.

As a heartfelt thank-you, every guest will receive a specially curated care package. A gift from Sarah Baila & Aviva Tali - a reminder to choose the light, nurture yourself, and spread kindness wherever you go.

Send love, strength, and hope. 

Write a message to IDF soldiers, their families, or those affected by recent events. Your words, no matter how simple, bring comfort and connection to those who need it most.  Let your kindness travel across the world.

Your words can brighten someone's day.

Decorate a custom-made card for someone in need: reminding them that we hold them in our thoughts and prayers. These cards will be bundled and delivered after the event as part of a community mitzvah initiative.

Get festival-ready with UV face painting, body art and custom airbrushing.


Professional artists will adorn guests with light-themed designs: stars, moons, hearts....that come to life under blacklight, making everyone part of the sparkle. Registered Guests will also receive personalized airbrushed hats and hoodies, one of the many beautifully crafted “Gifts from the Garden”, meant to be worn, enjoyed, and kept as a special reminder of the night.

Shine a light on someone who inspires you.

Grab a peg and write the name of someone you admire, miss, or want to honor, past or present, and add it to our illuminated giant light-bright wall. Each name becomes part of a glowing tribute to love, strength, and legacy.

Take a breath. Feel the light.
Unwind in a warm, welcoming lounge featuring plush pillows, feel-good music, uplifting affirmation cards, interactive games, and glowing lights. A space designed to remind you that the light comes from within - a place to recharge, share a moment, enjoy a drink, or savor some great food.

Capture the joy of the night!

This is a modern twist on the classic photo booth - trading still shots for immersive 360° videos. Guests don’t just pose; they move, dance, and play, creating dynamic clips filled with energy and personality. With LED props, glowing backdrops, and a touch of sparkle, each video becomes a vibrant moment in the celebration’s gallery of light, memories, and connection.

Create a strand of light, love, and blessings.

Guests choose beads and charms that represent a hope, prayer, or intention, stringing them together into a blessed bracelet or keychain. These can be kept as a personal reminder, gifted, or donated to someone who needs a spark of light.

Be a part of the light, one piece at a time.

Guests become part of the artwork by placing their own photos onto the wall, creating a uniquely interactive and meaningful experience. As the celebration unfolds, a vibrant large-scale mosaic emerges - transforming individual moments into one unforgettable masterpiece. Once complete, the finished mosaic will be framed, hung, and proudly displayed in our new 880 Shul.
