Menorah lighting

1-January-2025

On Monday-30-December the Borough of Bogota held their annual Menorah lighting on sixth night of Hanukkah 5785. This took place in front of the Borough Hall, with a Menorah provided by the Chabad House of Teaneck. This was attendance by residents from Bogota, Teaneck and other surrounding communities.
 Those joining in the celebration were treated to Potato Latkes, a variety of donuts, cotton candy along with hot chocolate and coffee. Also, there were a number of rides and games set-up to provide some entertainment until Sunset. 
  When the time arrived for the lighting ceremony to begin Rabbi Ephraim Simon from the Chabad House gave a welcoming message. Rabbi Simon thanked Bogota Mayor Ms. Danile Fede for again celebrating the sixth night of Hanukkah in Bogota. Next Mayor Fede welcomed their neighbors from Teaneck for being a part of the Holiday celebration. She thanked the Rabbi for sharing this moment, as neighbors together as one. This was followed by Councilwoman Ms. Connie Carpenter also welcoming Rabbi Simon, and the attendees to the Borough.
   Before the lighting ceremony began Rabbi Simon talked about how the lights of the Menorah can be seen as a beacon to push away the darkness. And to help those that are away from their Families and Friends and bring them into the light. He continued by adding that the important this gathering are necessary now to shine the light of hope and peace for citizens of the world.
  To begin the lighting Rabbi Simon gave the honour of lighting the Shamash to Councilwoman Carpenter. She held the “candle” to ignite the premier light of the season. Then Dr. Alan Perlman recited the Prayer for Lighting the Hanukkah candles. He then lit the six candles that symbolized the sixth day of Hanukkah. 
  Hanukkah is commemoration of the Maccabean rebellion after the fall of King Solomon’s Second Temple in Jerusalem, to the Greeks. After the destruction of the temple only enough oil was found to light a lamp for one night. But the lamp was able to stay lit for eight nights until more candle oil was able to be delivered to the city.
