BOROUGH PRESIDENT LIGHTS ONE OF BROOKLYN’S LARGEST MENORAHS
Brooklyn Celebrates First Night of Chanukah On Tuesday, December 7, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz joined Brooklyn families to light the Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht Menorah, the largest menorah in Downtown Brooklyn. “I would like to wish all Brooklynites and New Yorkers a Happy Chanukah!” said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. “During this eight-day festival of lights, we remember how the Jewish people fought and overcame persecution, and we affirm our commitment to upholding the ideals of religious freedom. In Brooklyn, we are fortunate enough to enjoy the freedom that millions around the world are still seeking. I offer a prayer that in the years ahead all of God’s children everywhere will share the same peace and freedom that we cherish here in Brooklyn.” Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin from Congregation B’nai Avraham led the ceremony and kosher holiday treats were served. Families also received prizes and free menorahs. This event was a collaboration between the Borough President, Congregation B’nai Avraham and the Chabad of Brooklyn Heights. |
