Posted on: December 20, 2019

The Town of Hamden will host a Menorah Lighting Gathering on Monday, December 23rd, 2019 at 5:00pm at Freedom Park, located at the corner of Whitney and Dixwell Avenues. The Ceremony will be led by Rabbi Moshe Hecht of the Chabad Jewish Center in Hamden.

Join us in this celebration of Light as we kindle the Menorah in honor of the Chanukah Holiday, which began over 2000 years ago in Jerusalem. Menorah candles are lit after dark, at sundown, symbolizing “illuminating the night” and bringing light to the world.

After the lighting, all are invited to enjoy coffee and a reception at Freedom Park or, in the event of inclement weather, inside Thornton Wilder Hall at the Miller Library Complex.
