From Cleveland Jewish News:
About 150 people attended the city of Twinsburg’s “Light the Night” event to celebrate the seventh night of Chanukah Dec. 13 at the Twinsburg Community Center.
Rabbi Mendy Greenberg of Twinsburg Chabad led the menorah lighting, starting with a prayer for Israel and followed by a song sung by children attending the event.
“Chanukah is a story about a group of people who were fighting for their country, fighting for what’s moral, fighting for what’s right,” he said. “There’s no better time to remind ourselves that even if sometimes things seem a little dark, every person has a part and something they can do to add light and truth to what’s going on in the world.”
Prior to the menorah lighting, attendees enjoyed doughnuts, chips and latkes. The event also offered face painting, balloon creations and a craft session, where attendees colored Chanukah-themed pictures and made snow globes. Chanukah headbands, stamps and stickers were also available for attendees to take home.
The event was hosted by Twinsburg Parks and Recreation, in cooperation with Twinsburg Chabad.
