Chanukah brings with it its message of light and warmth.
Just like the Maccabees, Chanukah reminds us that life's darkest moments and greatest challenges can be brightened with steadfast faith and determination.
Below, is a list of public menorah lightings and Chanukah events, their times and places.
Join your neighbors for any of the lightings. It's free of charge... and a great public answer to the recent anti-semitism!
