Chabad is happy to announce a Chanukah celebration for the entire community. Based on the tremendous response from last year, despite the weather, once again there will be a public menorah lighting and celebration in Blue Back Square, West Hartford Center, in front of Barnes and Noble, on December 13th at 4:00 p.m.
The program will include music, Chanukah delicacies, a dreidel spinning competition, and entertainment for the whole family. The menorah will be lit by local dignitaries.
This year is the first anniversary of the tragedies in the Chabad House in Mumbai, India, and Chabad hopes to bring the community together, to celebrate Chanukah and reach as many people as possible. Chanukah is the holiday of light and freedom, where few overcame the many, light triumphed over darkness, freedom overcame oppression, and good prevailed over evil.
For the first time, Chabad is holding a menorah contest. All children are welcome to participate by building the most original menorah in 3D, from any materials available. The winners will be judged by a panel at the program and will win a Wii, and other prizes.
The entire community is invited to participate. For any more information, please call the Chabad House at 860-232-1116 or check our website: www.chabadhartford.com
