For the 25th consecutive year, Chabad-Lubavitch of Boca Raton will put up a public menorah at Town Center Mall (6000 Glades Road) in Boca Raton, to be highlighted by a community-wide candlelighting celebration at 6 p.m. on Dec. 18, which will take place in the mall directly across from the Saks Fifth Avenue store.
The candlelighting ceremony will feature a menorah lighting by Congressman Ted Deutch, followed by a special Hanukkah Puppet Show for children. There also will be traditional Hanukkah foods, such as latkes and sufganiyot ("jelly doughnuts"), as well as dreidels for all.
According to the Chabad sect of Orthodox Judaism, the menorah serves as a universal symbol of religious freedom. Read more here: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/florida-jewish-journal/news/palm/fl-jjps-chabadhanukkah-1210-20141208-story.html
