“We are excited to be celebrating our sixteenth year of the Grand Menorah Lighting Celebration with the community in Coral Gables” said Rabbi Avraham Stolik, of Chabad of Downtown Coral Gables. “Now more than ever we need to strengthen our unity and Jewish Pride and ensure that light prevails over darkness and goodness over evil.”
The highlight of the event was the lighting of the candles on the large 12 foot Menorah that illuminated Ponce Circle Park during the holiday season. Mayor Raul Valdes-Fauli, City Commissioners & other community leaders were among the honored guests.
