The Charlotte Jewish News - November 2007 - Page 5 Synagogues CONGREGA TIONS Lubavitch Invites You to Build Giant Chanukah “CAN-ORAH” at SouthPark Mall 704 609 5639 BRUCE MEHLMAN BRDKr,R./RFALTOR®CgC bmchlinan@helcnadamsrcalty.com YOUR. BUSINESS ANT) REFERRALS ARE APPR£CIATEK The construction of a Giant CAN-orah (food can Menorah!) will be the highlight of the Lubavitch Menorah Lighting at SouthPark Mall this Chanukah. Each year Lubavitch of North Carolina presents an exciting Chanukah program that is fiin, educational, and hands-on. “The CAN-orah is the perfect program to keep the kids at the edge of their seats.” said Rabbi Yossi Groner. “Chanukah is about bringing light into this world. One can of food doesn’t seem like much, but a CAN-orah, built with hundreds of food cans, is sure to add more light into this world.” In addition to the lighting of the Giant CAN-orah, the event will feature stimulating activities for children and delicious Chanukah treats for everyone. After the holi day, the canned food will then be donated to Jewish Family Services to distribute to the needy and hungry in Charlotte. The message of Chanukah is about overcoming challenges and bringing extra light into our sur roundings. In keeping with Chanukah’s message of spreading light to everyone, the theme of this year’s Grand Menorah Lighting is: Light up the World: Help needy families by donating food. Light up Chanukah: Join us as we light the CAN-orah. The complete giant CAN-orah will be erected at SouthPark Mall, Tuesday, December 4 on the first night of Chanukah. The menorah will be inside the mall, in the Neiman-Marcus wing. We will begin to assemble and erect the menorah at approximately 4:30 PM and conduct the lighting ceremony at approximately 6 PM. For more information, please contact Lubavitch of NC at 704-366-3984, email to rab- bic@earthlink.net or visit www.ohrhatorahnc.org. Chanukah is observed by the kindling of the Menorah each night of the holiday. In ancient times our ancestors rededicated the Temple in Jerusalem with the menorah. Today, we rededicate ourselves to making this world a better and brighter place. Chanukah also propagates the universal message that ultimately good will prevail over evil, free dom over oppression, and light over darkness. Lubavitch of North Carolina joins thousands of Chabad centers across the globe that are staging similar public displays of the menorah. From Australia to Africa, Columbia to Hong Kong, New York City’s ground zero, to the White House lawn, hundreds of thousands will experience the joy of Chanukah. 15235-JJcto J Del«wy Dr:: Ciuriotte,NC 28277:: 704.S41.0279 Temple Beth El’s College Connection On Friday, November 23, at 8 PM.
