For the first time ever, the Staples Center - home stadium for the Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers and Kings - hosted a grand menorah lighting right before a Clippers game. In front of tens-of-thousands of fans, Rabbi Moshe Greenwald, Shliach of Downtown Los Angeles, lit the menorah which was followed by a thunderous round of applause as thousands of Jewish fans expressed their appreciation to Rabbi Greenwald. Also in attendance at the menorah lighting were neighboring Shluchim rabbis Dov Wagner, Nachman Abend and Simcha Backman. This was a major kidush hashem and kidush shem lubavitch.
