Senator Schumer at Chabad Of Park Slopes Menorah
40 minutes before Shabbos started the Menorah Lighting that takes place in Grand Army Plaza right in front of the Brooklyn Public Library and is arranged by Chabad of Park Slope’s R. Shimon Hecht, was graced with the sudden arrival of Senator Charles [Chuck] Schumer (D-NY). Although the crowd was small the senator came out and made the Blessings of the Menorah then blessed the crowed. The senator, who lives in park slope and his house overlooks Grand Army Plaza, had his daughter come down to be with him at the Menorah Lighting.

Well Grand Army Plaza is only 5 minutes away, and the whole thing ended at 4:00 leaving me sufficient time to get home for Shabbos. But thank you all for the concern about me getting home in time :-)
