Chabad-Lubavitch to Light Up Chanukah Skies

13:05 Dec 23, '05 / 22 Kislev 5766

(IsraelNN.com) Chabad will light up the sky with fireworks to attract people to the lighting of public menorahs large and at city centers, army bases, shopping malls, senior centers and hospitals throughout the country next week by thousands of Chabad Chasidim, who make it an annual project to bring the festival’s light into the House of Israel.

Each year Chabad emmissaries around the world hold public menorah lightings, complete with Chanukah parties featuring food and drink, sufganiot (jelly doughnuts), latkes (potato pancakes), music and brochures to educate Jews about the Festival of Light.

Community leaders and political dignitaries are given the honor of lighting the menorah each night of the holiday.
