FAIRFIELD — Pouring rain failed to dampen the spirts of a small group of families huddled on the Sherman Green gazebo to light a menorah on the third night of Hanukkah Sunday.

Neither did three masked men, who carrying Nazi flags and shouting obscenities, tried to disrupt the ceremony until they fled when police arrived.

CROWN HEIGHTS [NY1] — Jews around the city began celebrating Hanukkah, the festival of lights, at sundown Friday.

The holiday marks the Jews' rebellion against the Hellenistic Greek leader Antiochus, who outlawed Jewish religious customs in the second century B.C. When the Jews rededicated the temple in Jerusalem, the wicks of the menorah burned for eight days, seven longer than expected for the amount of oil they had.

By Yonat Shimron for the News Observer

Rabbi Zalman Bluming hosts a Hanukkah kick-off party Thursday at his home, which serves as the Chabad House. 'We're proudly sharing the light and warmth of Jewish values to all mankind,' he said.

CHAPEL HILL — Hanukkah, the eight-day festival of lights that begins tonight, is a private affair for most Jews.

At home, with the children taking a lead role, families will light a small candelabra, or menorah, and say a blessing. Some may place the menorah, with its slender, quick burning candles, beside the window for outsiders to see. These gatherings, often accompanied by traditional fried foods such as potato pancakes and jelly-filled doughnuts, are for the most part intimate and cozy.
