Chabad Of Briarcliff-Ossining Invites Public To Mega Chanukah Kickoff

from Chabad of Briarcliff-Ossining

A giant 6-foot balloon menorah will be displayed at the Briarcliff Pavillion to kick off the first night of Chanukah this season.

Chabad of Briarcliff-Ossining is once again hosting a Mega Chanukah event Sunday, Dec. 18. Community members are invited to take part in the free event and observe the kindling of the menorah. Last year, hundreds of people attended this spectacular event.

Chanukah is celebrated this year beginning the evening of Dec. 18 through the evening of Dec. 26.
"Chanukah is the holiday where light triumphed over darkness," said Rabbi Dovid Labkowski, co-director at Chabad; "Lighting the Menorah is a reminder to us to illuminate this world by increasing in random acts of goodness and kindness and spreading to the people around us."

Balloon artist “Katie Balloons” will be building on site the tallest balloon shamash, and children will get a chance to blow up a balloon to add to it.

The first 100 attendees will get light up menorah necklaces! A Chanukah pop-up table will be on site offering menorahs, candles and other decorations, while traditional jelly donuts, hot latkes, and hot cocoa will be available for people to enjoy.

Kids can also enjoy crafts, face painting, prizes and a balloon artist.

Festivities begin at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 18 at the Briarcliff Pavillion.1 Law Park, Briarcliff Manor. The event is free and open to the public.
