Over 200 people gathered Wednesday night adjacent to the Lincolnwood, IL Village Hall to celebrate Chanukah. The event was titled “Occupy Lincolnwood – with the light of Chanukah.” Channel 5 and Channel 7 were thinking it was a real Occupy event. Needless to say they were quite disappointed that they were duped, it was a village-wide Chanukah party.

Every now and than you get introduced to a song that just has “it..” A song that really moves, its lyrics are simple yet poignant, its message universal. These were my feelings when I heard this song for the first time. And as I looked over to the dance floor I realized I was not alone. The guests at this wedding, from all walks of life, were surging with energy as the first few bars of this song began. It was an awesome thing to behold.

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?
