After lighting torches on a menorah, Rabbi Ruvi New of the Chabad of East Boca turns to a crowd of more than 200 who gathered at Sanborn Square in Boca Raton to celebrate Chanukah. Children’s games, a concert and the menorah lighting were all part of the festivities to remind the crowd of the Chanukah story, a battle for religious freedom over the Syrian-Greek oppression in 165 B.C. The menorah is a symbol of the nation of Israel and its mission to be ‘a light unto the nations.’
