The public menorah lighting was organized by Rabbi Moishe
Gurevitz, director of Chabad Young professionals – Morristown, who remarked,
“The Menorah serves as a symbol of Morristown's dedication to preserve and
encourage the right and liberty of all its citizens to worship G-d freely,
openly, and with pride. Specifically in America, a nation that was founded upon
and vigorously protects the right of every person to practice his or her
religion free from restraint and persecution, the Menorah takes on profound
significance, embodying both religious and constitutional principles.”

menorahs sponsored by Chabad throughout the world, helping children and adults
