Festival of Lights

Rabbi Joyce Galaski of congregation Ahavas Achim leads children of the congregation in a ceremony to light menorahs during a celebration of Chanukah Monday evening at the United Church of Christ, Second Congregational. The candles in the menorahs symbolize the miracle of Chanukah when oil which was thought to be sufficient to last one day burned for eight days during the second century BC rededication of the temple in Jerusalem.
