Menorah Starts Fire in A Home on Montgomery St

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Around 12:00am this Motzoai Shabbos a fire broke out in a Jewish home on Montgomery Street between New York and Brooklyn Avenues, the cause of which is blamed on a Chanukah Menorah.

The house, which was empty at the time, had a Menorah next to a couch and somehow fell and ignited the couch. A Bochur who was passing by noticed the fire and called 911, who responded within moments and had the fire under control immediately thereafter.

The following is a beautiful story about a Shliach in Connecticut which is going to be published in the Sunday’s edition of The New York Times. The piece in the Times is the result of a similar story that appeared on Chabad.org’s news site, which we here at CrownHeights.info ran, two weeks ago and caught the attention of the editors at the NY Times. This article follows a long stream of similar successes by the Chabad.org/news section.

MILFORD, CT — THE Hebrew Congregation of Woodmont is 81 years old, but when its members lighted a menorah on the Milford Green on Tuesday night, they were celebrating more than the first night of Hanukkah. They were also celebrating Hanukkah for the first time as a congregation.

Built a few hundred yards from Long Island Sound in 1926, their temple, a one-room wooden building with stained-glass windows that faces the water and has been on the National Historic Register since 1995, served for decades as a place of worship for hundreds of Jews from Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York who spent their summer vacations in Woodmont, a small borough on the southeastern edge of Milford.
