Shliach Lights Menorah with Colorado Governor

Colorado’s governor John Hickenlooper, Denver’s mayor Michael B. Hancock and the Federation’s CEO were among the 300 people attending the Grand Menorah Lighting in Denver with Rabbi Yisroel Engel on the first night of Chanuka. A children’s choir sang Chanukah songs and a number of community leaders and dignitaries – including the governor and mayor spoke at the event.

Photos: 770 Menorah Outside Netanyahu’s Home?

Shturem

Photographer Shmulik Sofer spotted a very curious object outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s residence in Jerusalem: what appears to be a replica of the Rebbe’s 770 Menorah. Although the Rebbe’s Menorah was intended to be a replica of the one in the Beis Hamikdosh, the same cannot be said about this one because the official position of the Israeli government is that the Beis Hamikdosh’s Menorah was round. Can anyone explain this?
