Senate Democrats: Start Hanukkah with us for $2,000.

The celebration of the Maccabees defeat of the mighty the Seleucids will have to wait for denizens of the Capitol village to pay tribute to the Senate Democrats in New Haven on this, the first day of Hanukkah.

The eight-day Jewish holiday begins at sunset today, which is at 4:19 p.m. The Senate Democrats kick off their event in New Haven at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets range from $100 to $2,000.

House Democrats changed the time of their December 7th fundraiser to 3:30 p.m.
