CROWN HEIGHTS [NY1] — Jews around the city began celebrating Hanukkah, the festival of lights, at sundown Friday.
The holiday marks the Jews’ rebellion against the Hellenistic Greek leader Antiochus, who outlawed Jewish religious customs in the second century B.C. When the Jews rededicated the temple in Jerusalem, the wicks of the menorah burned for eight days, seven longer than expected for the amount of oil they had.
For the Tenth consecutive year in Tallahassee, Florida Governor Charlie Crist enjoyed the Chanukah celebration arranged by Chabad of Tallahassee, the local branch of Jewish outreach giant Chabad-Lubavitch. The event was well attended with over 100 people, including many Chabad Rabbis from all over Florida. You can feel that the amazing energy of Chanukah was felt vibrantly in the air.
During the eight days, Chabad.org will broadcast Chanukah events from around the world – live!
The menorah lightings will be broadcast from eight locations, including the Western Wall, in Jerusalem, The National Menorah in front of The White House in Washington D.C., as well as menorah lightings in Paris, New York City and a half dozen other cities around the globe. Another highlight of the site is are live video of the Western Wall and the Live Dreidel Cam, focused on the oversized dreidel in front of the Jewish Children’s Museum in Brooklyn, NY.
CHAPEL HILL — Hanukkah, the eight-day festival of lights that begins tonight, is a private affair for most Jews.
At home, with the children taking a lead role, families will light a small candelabra, or menorah, and say a blessing. Some may place the menorah, with its slender, quick burning candles, beside the window for outsiders to see. These gatherings, often accompanied by traditional fried foods such as potato pancakes and jelly-filled doughnuts, are for the most part intimate and cozy.
CHICAGO, IL [NBC] — On the eve of the Jewish holiday, the Naperville Park District agreed to add a menorah to the Riverwalk holiday display after previously rejecting the request by the Chabad Jewish Center.
An ordinance normally forbids private groups from putting up signs, but the group donated the menorah to the park district so it could be put up in time for Hanukkah, which begins at sundown Friday.
