The City of Kennesaw, in collaboration with Chabad of Kennesaw, invites the community to participate in the Menorah Lighting at the City Hall Plaza on December 26 at 5:00 PM.
This eight-day Jewish holiday honors the Maccabees’ military victory over Syrian-Greek oppression over 2,000 years ago. During Hanukkah, Jewish people worldwide celebrate the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days, which was originally found in the Temple. On the first night of Hanukkah, one candle is lit, with an additional candle added each subsequent night. This holiday represents a celebration of religious freedom and hope.
