Public Chanukah Menorah Lighting
in Belmont Shore
"Fire and Ice Extravaganza"
Sunday, December 1, 2013
4 p.m.
Citibank parking lot
5354 East 2nd St.
Everyone is welcome.
There will be live music, the SBTS Hebrew School choir and local
dignitaries. All children in attendance will receive Chanukah treats.
"This
is a unique and special event because this is the first time since 1890
that Chanukah and Thanksgiving overlap," Rabbi Perelmuter says. "And
the two holidays will not overlap again for another century."
The reason Shul by the Shore chose to partner with the Belmont Shore Business Association and hold the event on 2nd
St. "is because it is the hub of the community," Rabbi Perelmuter says.
"There is always a lot of foot traffic - people walking along 2nd St. shopping, dining, walking and being entertained in a variety of ways. It is a busy, vibrant, exciting area."
This
year's Chanukah Menorah Lighting falls on the fifth night of the
celebrated Jewish holiday, which is also known as the Festival of
Lights; it's an eight-day holiday commemorating the Maccabean revolt
against its oppressors in the 2nd century.
The
Chanukah Menorah Candle Lighting is a global celebration that takes
place from Paris, London and Israel, to New York, Chicago and Long
Beach.
SBTS, which has serviced the community for the past 20 years, holds its services at the Seaport Marina Hotel.
