Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of
Lights, began at sundown and runs for eight days
with menorah lightings and celebrations around the world.
Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in
Jerusalem in the second century B.C.E. during the Maccabean revolt against
oppressive Greek rulers.
Jews celebrate the holiday by lighting a nine-branch
candelabrum, commonly called a menorah, and by giving gifts and playing a
game with a spinning top called a "dreidel."
“Some people had concerns,” he said. “I told the shul one thing. Two lines.
I said, number one, everyone is welcome to come
to this shul, except people who say other people are not welcome. Second thing
is it’s not my synagogue or anyone else’s. It’s God’s synagogue, I’m privileged
enough to run it. And anyone who wants to come here and pray is welcome.”
