Traveling Menorah Glow-Car to light up Ocean County for Hanukkah celebrations

TOMS RIVER, NJ – A local nonprofit is bringing the Hanukkah spirit to neighborhoods across Ocean County with a traveling Menorah Glow-Car, a mobile celebration designed to share light, music, and joy throughout the holiday.

The brightly illuminated car, topped with a glowing menorah, will tour communities from December 14 to 21, offering family-friendly stops filled with Hanukkah activities and festive energy.

Organizers say the event aims to spread warmth and unity during the eight nights of Hanukkah through interactive experiences and neighborhood visits.


Key Points

  • The Menorah Glow-Car will tour Ocean County from December 14–21.
  • Families can enjoy Hanukkah trivia, dreidel spins, and a “Glow-Selfie” opportunity.
  • The event is organized by the nonprofit Torah2Go, which encourages residents to request stops in their neighborhoods.

A traveling festival of lights

At each stop, children and families can enjoy activities like Hanukkah trivia, “guess-the-lyrics” games, and colorful dreidel spins. The Glow-Car team will also deliver a brief Hanukkah message before lighting the menorah and encouraging families to take part in the #MenorahGlowTour photo challenge.

Community participation encouraged

Residents outside the route can follow along with event updates, behind-the-scenes videos, and highlights on social media via @Torah2Go. The group is also accepting limited requests for additional neighborhood stops through direct messages that include location and group size.

The nonprofit said its mission is to make Hanukkah accessible and joyful for all ages — one glowing menorah at a time.
