‘Menorah Wars’ Return to Brooklyn

by Shavana Abruzzo – The Brooklyn Paper

Oy-vey-izmir, here we go again. Park Slope and downtown Brooklyn was a bissel verklempt when it kicked off Hanukkah on Tuesday with twin menorah lightings that celebrated an ancient miracle — but also re-ignited one of the fiercest feuds since Nimrod and Abraham. And it all boils down to size — what else?

Immigration raid at Agriprocessors in 2008. Inset: Hossam Amara.

The Jerusalem District Court has approved the extradition to the United States of Hosam Amara, to face federal charges in connection with irregularities associated with the Agriprocessors kosher meat packing plant in Postville, Iowa, which went bankrupt after a 2008 raid by immigration authorities, in which nearly 400 illegal immigrants were rounded up.

The Coyotes vs Panthers hockey game last Tuesday was no ordinary game. Chabad of Florida performed a menorah-lighting ceremony on the ice during the first period intermission. The event looked nothing short of a huge Hanukka party. But the event itself was really quite ironic. How odd, I thought, to celebrate Hanukka in a sports arena, given that the concept of sports is emblematic of Greek culture.

On Wednesday, December 21, the second night of Chanukah, the 8th Day Band rocked Ottawa!! It would not be a total understatement to say that they brought the house down. Everyone, and I mean everyone, from the Bubbies to the Babies who were there clapping, singing and even dancing in their seats.
