Chanukah History Made in Paddington

History was made today in the suburb of Paddington in Sydney, Australia. Since its establishment in the mid-1800s, there has never been a public Menorah lighting in the suburb. Today, the first day of Chanukah, CBD-Chabad hosted Paddington’s first ever Public Menorah Lighting, with some 50 members of the Sydney Jewish community in attendance.

Shluchim Rabbi Danny and Sara Tova Yaffe welcomed those of all ages who came to enjoy the beautiful summer weather, a picnic and of course the delicious doughnuts and latkes.

Everyone took home gift bags filled with Chanukah goodies.

    Chabad should create and light giant menorahs in Yehuda and shomron to show the world that the light goes out from Zion.Let the goyim who voted against G-d sit in darkness until they resind that terrible resolution that they passed against G-d and his people.The biggest figther of milhemes Hashem is Natanyahu.
