Menorah Lighting, Channukah Party Set For Haddonfield

HADDONFIELD, NJ - The Chabad of Camden County and Burlington County will light a Menorah at Library Point in Haddonfield next week. The Menorah Lighting is set for Wednesday, Dec. 5, 7 p.m. This tradition was started in 2005.

There will also be a party to celebrate Channukah on Sunday, Dec. 9, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Haddonfield Jewish Center. Cantor Scott Borsky will play music, and there will be potluck food, possibly even latkes.

This will be the first year that there are two Channukah events open to the public in Haddonfield, according to Haddonfield Jewish Center Founding President Ilise Feisthans.

“Given the history that has troubled so many Jews and the tragedy in Pittsburgh that ran shivers through the memory channels in Jews across the USA it was not merely touching but quite amazing to feel the kind and encouraging support from Haddonfield neighbors,” Feisthans said. “We the people of the Haddonfield Jewish Center are still a small fledgling group, yet we are confident that out of tragedy we will be able to find a community. This will take long time, but we have no deadline. In the years ahead of community will be comprised of people across generations who love the USA and love Haddonfield, but also love the comfort and richness of Jewish culture in our pleasant town. We are a small fledgling group without articles of incorporation member lists or member dues, waiting to find the people whose spiritual search can only be answered in Haddonfield.”

For security purposes, the center is asking that people RSVP by contacting CantorSBorsky@gmail.com or ilise.feitshans@gmail.com.
