On Monday, December 18, in celebration of Chanukah, the Jewish festival of lights, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will rise to the occasion, with the help of a cherry picker, and light Brooklyn’s largest menorah the 25-foot-tall Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht Menorah. The lighting ceremony will be led by Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin of Congregation B'nai Avraham in Brooklyn Heights.

Families will also enjoy a special selection of Chanukah songs performed by cast members of the off-Broadway holiday musical revue “That Time of Year,” as well as a performance by vocalist Avi Lifshitz. After the ceremony to further brighten the evening’s festivities revelers will be treated to latkes and refreshments.

The menorah lighting event is a joint program of the Borough President’s Office, Congregation B’nai Avraham, and Chabad of Brooklyn Heights.
