Kicking off the Chanukah holiday on Sunday, a Hakhel concert with “Pey Daled” will take place at the lighting of Brooklyn’s tallest Menorah.
The concert will begin at 5:00 pm, followed by the lighting at 6:00 pm.
The giant Menorah, on display at the entrance to Prospect Park, celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, of purity over adulteration, of spirituality over materiality.
The Menorah stands at a whopping 32 feet tall (the maximum allowed by Jewish law), and has been towering over Grand Army Plaza since 1985.
With assistance from a Con Edison cherry-picker, Rabbi Shimon Hecht accompanies community leaders, philanthropists and special guests in lighting the Menorah.
The Menorah is lit each night of Chanukah, and the celebration is accompanied by live music and hot latkes for all.
Special gifts are distributed to every child, making this a family celebration and a must on everyone’s calendar.
The lighting takes place at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza every night of Chanukah at 6:00 PM. However, in order to accommodate Shabbos, Friday night’s lighting will take place at 3:30 PM, and Motzoei Shabbos at 7:00 PM.
