Chanukah Typo – Misspelling of Rebbe’s Name on National Menorah

Ken Herman – Statesman

WASHINGTON, DC — The big sign on the big National Chanukah Menorah, right near the National Holiday Tree just south of the White House, includes a misspelling of the name of the late rabbi to whom the menorah is dedicated.

It should be Menachem M. Schneerson, not Menachem M. Scheerson, in pictures in the Extended Article. (Photos by: Israel Bardugo).

A spokeswoman for the American Friends of Lubavitch, which sponsors the national menorah, said she was unaware of the error and did not know how it happened.
