Main Street lights a menorah for Hanukkah
The first night of Hanukkah was Sunday, December 2. The University of New Hampshire’s Hillel chapter, along with the UNH and Seacoast Chabad Jewish Center, held a public menorah lighting on the Corner of Pettee Brook Lane and Main Street to usher in the holiday. The eight-day celebration, also known as the Festival of Lights, was kicked off with speeches from Rabbi Berel Slavaticki, UNH President James W. Dean Jr. and Hillel’s chair Jordyn Haime. All in attendance were glad that the rain stopped just before the ceremonies began outside.
