Public dignitaries and community leaders will attend the ceremony and will assist in kindling the giant “Menorah of Freedom”

Chanukah, a celebration for all time is highlighted by the kindling of the Menorah each night of the holiday.

“It is a holiday that enriches our lives with the light of tradition” said Rabbi Levi Azimov, director of the Chabad Jewish Center. “In ancient times our ancestors rededicated the Temple in Jerusalem with the Menorah. Today, we rededicate ourselves to making this world a better and brighter place.”

Chanukah also propagates the universal message that ultimately good will prevail over evil, freedom over oppression and light over darkness.
