Jewish residents celebrate Hanukkah at sundown
Celebrations may blend Jewish, American traditions
1216HANUKKAH1
A menorah holds nine candles to mark the Jewish Festival of Lights known as Hanukkah.
It’s the time of year when evergreen trees are trimmed with twinkling lights, halls are decked with holly and stockings are hung with care. The glow of Christmas is easy to spot, but in some Northeast Georgia homes, that glow is coming not from a tree but from a menorah. Hanukkah is today and the local Jewish community is preparing to celebrate its Festival of Lights.
