Public menorah lightings planned

Celebrate the festival of lights with public menorah lightings next week.

The eighth annual Hanukkah Celebration on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach will take place Thursday and continue for the eight days of the holiday through Dec. 8.

The Lincoln Road festivities are sponsored by Rabbi Zev Katz of Chabad House on Miami Beach.

Every evening there will be a lighting of the menorah — created out of thousands of shells — featuring music and holiday delicacies like hot potato pancakes and Israeli jelly donuts. Special festivities are scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 5, and Wednesday, Dec. 8, including live music, a magic show and children’s activities.

The menorah lightings take place at 6 most nights, with a 5 p.m. lighting scheduled for Friday and 7 p.m. lighting scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 4.

The Chabad on Lincoln Road is located at 669 Lincoln Lane North.

In North Miami, a 15-foot menorah is going up for the fourth consecutive year in front of city’s Municipal Building, 770 NE 125th St.

An added highlight: a car and trailer parade of electric menorahs will light up the night and embark on a parade throughout the city.

The Keystone Jewish Center organizes the event, which begins at 5:30 p.m. Thursday and features live Jewish music, hot latkes and traditional jelly doughnuts, as well as treats for children. Admission is free.
