The Parade
The Event
Menorah Lighting
From the time Chazal instituted the Mitzvah of kindling the Menorah, the objective has been to publicize the nes of Chanukah to the outside, illuminating the world around us. The Menorah is expected to be placed in the open “על פתח ביתו מבחוץ”.
Chassidus Explains that the light of the Chanukah Menorah is even stronger than that of the Beis Hamikdash, possessing the unique power to overcome and ultimately transform the darkness of galus with Hashem’s infinite light.
But it would take more than two thousand years for this goal to be truly realized, when the Rebbe’s mivzta Chanukah actually brought the light of the Menorah to the public domain.
Join our public Menorah lighting and YOU can be part of spreading the light!
The event will start with the twelve Pesukim and words of Chizuk. Then the Menorah will be lit accompanied by music and dancing. We will be serving hot latkes, doughnuts, and hot drinks.
