Giant Menorah Lighting @ Brent Cross & Town Hall
In addition to the menorahs placed in the doorways and windows of Jewish homes, the sages instituted the practice of lighting the menorah in synagogues in order to further publicize the Chanukah miracle.
In times past, the synagogue was the most public Jewish venue. Today, however, the reality is such that many Jews do not visit the synagogue on a daily basis. The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, therefore encouraged the erection of menorahs in public areas to maximize the reach of the radiance of the Chanukah lights and to publicly proclaim the timeless message of the Chanukah victory of light over darkness.
Join Chabad’s annual giant Menorah lighting at Brent Cross Shopping Centre complete with songs, free doughnuts and Chanukah Gelt.
Lighting will take place Sunday 22nd of December- Sunday 29th of December at 5:30pm PM
