Menorah Lighting on Tolland Green

Kick off the Festival of Lights in true style!

The Chabad Jewish Center has announced plans to host a free, open-to-all holiday event.  The program, celebrating the festival of Chanukah, will be held on the first evening of the holiday – Tuesday, December 20th, at 6:00pm.You are invited.

The celebration will be held on the Tolland Town Green, right across from Town Hall.  “We invite the entire community to participate in the festivities,” said Rabbi Yosef Wolvovsky, Executive Director of Chabad.  “Chanukah celebrates the religious freedom of all.”

In addition to the kindling of a giant, 9-foot Menorah candelabra, hot cider and warm potato “Latkes” (pancakes) will be served.  There will also be festive music and free raffles.  Children and adults are welcome to this festive celebration, free of charge!

This is the second year that this program is being held.  Last Chanukah, tens of residents gathered in the brisk December weather to celebrate.  At the conclusion of the event, the Rabbi led the gathering in a joyous dance.  While moving his feet to traditional Chanukah music, Tolland resident Mark Naigles remarked, “Dancing is just so fun…  Any excuse to dance is a good excuse!”  Why not join the festivities?

For more information regarding this program, or Chanukah in general, please call Rabbi Yosef Wolvovsky at (860) 659-2422, email Rabbi@ChabadER.com, or log on to www.ChabadER.com.
