Chanukah Celebration on Needham Town Common

The Chabad Jewish Center welcomes the entire community to celebrate the Festival of Lights at the annual public Menorah lighting ceremony. The Chanukah celebration will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 6:00 p.m. (the second night of Chanukah) on the .

Attendees will witness the lighting of a large glow-in-the-dark Menorah as part of a glow-in-the-dark Chanukah celebration. Following the kindling, the program will feature music, dancing, doughnuts, hot cider and a raffle. 

Chanukah propagates the universal message that ultimately good will prevail over evil, freedom over oppression and light over darkness. For many, Chanukah brings back fond memories of childhood years and serves to renew a sense of Jewish identity. The Chanukah lights provide us with warmth, joy, strength and inspiration. Such is the purpose of a community-wide celebration to be held at the Needham Town Common. 

In its Chanukah outreach campaign, the Chabad Jewish Center joins thousands of Chabad Lubavitch centers across the globe which are staging similar public displays of the Menorah and its symbolic lights. From Australia to Africa, Columbia to Hong Kong, New York City to the White House lawn, hundreds of thousands will experience the joy of Chanukah with Chabad Lubavitch.
