SHREWSBURY — The first public menorah lighting in Shrewsbury last Sunday generated so much interest that the Westboro Jewish organization that sponsors it planned another one for this Sunday, to mark the last night of Hanukkah.
About 75 people observed Shrewsbury’s first-ever public menorah lighting Sunday, said Dvora Green of Chabad of Westboro.
“Even though it was raining, we were encouraged to see 75 people standing out there with their umbrellas,” Mrs. Green said.
The Chabad center’s phone was busy all week with people inquiring about it, she said, so the center decided to hold another observance, dubbing this one “Last Night.” Hanukkah ends Sunday night.
The public menorah lighting is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Shrewsbury Town Common. Latkes and hot cocoa will be served. Anyone with questions should contact Dvora Green at (508) 366-0499.
