Chanukah has been epic so far despite the pain and challenges!
Sudbury Town Center Chanukah Celebration
Thank you to the beautiful crowd that showed up for the Menorah Lighting this evening at the Sudbury Town Hall!
It was truly heartwarming and encouraging to see so many come to celebrate together, not give in to fear, and to appreciate light over darkness.
As my dear friend Rabbi Shmuli Schlanger whose brother was the Rabbi murdered in Sydney this week, told me, "the only response is to add even more light to the world"!
Sudbury, we did it!!
Thank you Senator Jamie Eldridge for joining us and for your meaningful message and thank you State Rep. Carmine Gentile for your words as well as Town Manager Andy Sheehan for your message.
Seeing such a diverse showing from across the community along with School Leaders, Select Board Members and so many people of different faiths, celebrating the power of light and unity, was truly beautiful!!
Thank you Sudbury, MA Police Department & Sudbury Department of Public Works for your assistance and thank you to everyone at the Town of Sudbury for their help with this event and for collaborating with ChabadSudbury in arranging this event for the community!

Sudbury Kickoff Celebration
Thank you to the beautiful crowd who showed up for the Chanukah Kickoff Celebration today at Chabad of Sudbury.

Thank to the Kevi Driscoll for the amazing show, to Sudbury PD for security and our in house team for security and to everyone who helped build the Menorah, setup and cleanup!
