The Bellingham Herald
Rabbi Levi Backman plays with his son 1-year-old Meir in their Bellingham home Thursday. Nearby are the toy dreidels that Backman and his wife Hadassah use to introduce Meir to Hanukkah traditions.

Hadassah Backman remembers her first public menorah lighting nearly 10 years ago.

As she stood in the throngs of people crowded into New York City’s Central Park, she could feel their differences melt away under the menorah’s soft glow.

Mountain View, CA – Menorah Vandalized

For the first time in Mountain View, California’s history an 8 foot Menorah had been erected in front of the City Hall. It was erected Friday afternoon by the local Shliach, and when they came to light it the second night they were shocked to find that someone had vandalized the Menorah. All the bulbs had been broken and the electric cable had been torn.

The Menorah has since been repaired and they will be going ahead with the plans to have a grand Menorah lighting tonight. And in response the Shliach said that next year they plan to have a 15 foot menorah!
