Hanukkah Celebrations Marked by Menorah Lighting at Maine State House

Rabbi Moshe Wilansky celebrated Hanukkah on Monday by lighting a menorah at the State House in Augusta, emphasizing the holiday’s theme of light overcoming darkness and the importance of unity and strength in challenging times. During the ceremony, he honored the legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, acknowledging his historic role in lighting a menorah in Washington, D.C. Wilansky led children in traditional Hanukkah songs and offered festive snacks, while Governor Janet Mills, unable to attend, shared a message of support for the Jewish community amidst ongoing concerns about safety and harassment. Finally, Wilansky expressed solidarity with the people of Israel amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, invoking the hope that the spirit of Hanukkah will inspire resilience and faith.
