Chanukah with Chabad

Chanukah with Chabad of Tidewater was yet again another smashing success. Beginning with the Chanukah party for families which included games, food, Menorah lighting, and much more on Sunday night the first of Chanukah and going all the way through the week, much events happened with great success.

The family party was attended by more than 40 people. On Monday, mivtzah menorah was out in full swing with menorahs being given out in four cities, four different malls, and many different shopping centers.

Tuesday started off with a Chanukah party at Langley Airforce base in Newport News which included latkes, sufganiyot, music, and menorah lighting. Words of Chanukah and chassidus were shared at that party as well.

Tuesday night at 5:00 the annual menorah parade began at Chabad House. It continued through parts of downtown before stopping at Town Point Park for a grand menorah lighting which was even attended by the press. After the lighting the parade continued through the streets of downtown Norfolk before hopping on the interstate and making visits to the JCC, Virginia Beach's TownCenter, and finally going to Mount Trashmore to culminate the parade.

Throughout the parade we were greeted with honks of approval, applause and smiles. Once again a great Kiddush Hashem.
