Las Vegas Mayor Lights Menorah with Young Shliach

On the 3rd day of Chanukah, Chabad of Southern Nevada led a Chanukah celebration with the recently elected Mayor of Las Vegas, Carolyn Goodman. It continued a tradition that began with her husband, former Mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman. During the celebration, the Mayor was presented with a Menorah as a Menorah of Freedom Award.

Mendy Harlig, son of the directors of Chabad of Southern Nevada, Rabbi Shea & Dina Harlig, was honored with lighting the candles. Mendy is a student at Lubavitch Mesivta in Chicago and came home during the Chanukah break to help his parents with the various Chanukah activities in Las Vegas.

A number of students from Chabad’s Desert Torah Academy, who won a school contest, were honored with participating in the program.
