Let there be light

Community marks Hanukkah with Menorah lighting

Posted

Rabbi Yitzchak Goldshmid from Congregation Beth Shalom lit the menorah outside the train station last Sunday from the bucket of a Valley Stream Fire Department ladder truck. With people of all religions coming together for the ceremony, Goldshmid said he wanted to send a message of love, light and brotherhood in the aftermath of a robbery and shooting at the nearby Papandrew jewelry store.
