Menorah Lighting & Chanukah Celebration

The legendary “Roving Rabbis” will be lighting a giant 9-foot Hanukkah Menorah at a Mountain Village, Heritage Plaza, on December 21, the 4th night of the eight-day Festival of Lights.

The community will be joined by Mountain Mayor Laila Benitez for this historical gathering, the event will feature live music (your classical Hanukkah songs), hot latkes (traditional Hanukkah snack) and drinks.

Complimentary Hanukkah menorahs and candles will be distributed for participants to light at home.

This is going to be the first ever public Menorah lighting in Mountain Village, and there is expected to be a large number of participants joining the grand public Menorah lighting.

“The excitement about Hanukkah is truly amazing,” says Shmuly Wudowsky, the young leader of the “Roving Rabbis”. “People are preparing to celebrate with family and friends, filling their homes with the light of Hanukkah, it’s really beautiful to see.”

The message of Hanukkah is all about spreading light regardless of religion or affiliation, Hanukkah is a universal holiday with a beautiful message for all "spread light wherever you can".

Public Menorah lightings are conducted outdoors and at night to convey a powerful message “a little light can dispel a whole lot of darkness.”
