For the fifth year in a row, the carving and lighting of the shimmering ice menorah in the heart of Manhattan has created a huge ‘Pirsumei Nisa,’ triggering many Jews and non-Jews to ask questions about the Chanukah holiday.
Chabad of Midtown Manhattan, headed by Shliach Rabbi Yehoshua Metzger was prepared for the event with a reinforcement of volunteers who handed out doughnuts, chocolate gelt and Chanukah brochures.
Following the candle lighting by Rabbi Metzger, a Chanukah party was held in the Chabad House.
To poster #^ – HELLO?!?! It’s Fifth Ave. & 42nd St. – the so-called “crossroads of the world”.
Not just thousands, but TENS OF THOUSANDS passed by and saw the menorah!!!! For real!
They hire a company who comes to carve the menorah who made it round. They were actually annoyed that it wasn’t. Oh well.
Over 24 hours later, the ice menorah is still standing on Fifth Ave. – where indeed thousands upon thousands have passed by and taking cell-phone shots!
Be kind with your words. If you have nothing nice to say don’t say it. All chabad houses do a fantastic job. May you all go Maichayil el choyil!
A frelichen chanukah one and all!
you should have commented on the crowd, it says in article thousands, look at pictures inside and outside, please count over 100. dont worry they took the pictures when biggest crowd there. say a few hundred and not thousands its very misleading
a round menorah made just the way Titus made it when he exiled the jews and destroyed the 2nd Tample
WOW i didnt expect it from a Lubavitcher
maybe it goes together with mixed seating
Rabbi Metzger! Nice to see you giving the Rebbetzen equal time. A real team. SHKOYACH
