One was set up at the new Harris Teeter Market Place at the Arboretum. The second Menorah was on dis play at die NationsBank Corporate center Uptown Charlotte. On the first night of Chanukah a group of one hundred fifty people gathered at the Arboretum to usher in the festival in style. It was a party like atmosphere with Chanukah decorations and music. Children were excited by the appearance of Judah the Maccabe (Larry Segal) in full gear with lots of chocolate Chanukah Gelt. Tables were set with sizzling pota to latkes and steaming apple cider. Rabbi Yossi Groner greeted the participants with a happy Chanukah. He explained that Chanukah is the only time that we are required to “publicize the mir acle” to those outside the Jewish religion. That is why Lubavitch has been on the forefi^ont of plac ing Menorah’s in public places throughout the world for all to see. Rabbi Binyomin Weiss led the ceremony with the Chanukah blessing. He urged the crowd to join him in the traditional Chanukah songs. During the week shoppers were greeted with the bright kindled Menorah and felt warm and wel come as Jews. There was a full Chanukah display near the Menorah with a variety of Chanukah merchandise available for shoppers. In addition to the two Menorah’s on display, the Jewish Day school put on a Chanukah performance at NationsBank Plaza on Wednesday December 17. With a large Menorah as their backdrop the children sang delightful Chanukah songs and entertained the onlookers with dance and special movements. Channie Weiss and Cher Fox led the children in their performance. Also during the Chanukah sea son you may have seen cars and mini-vans with a large magnetic sign displaying the message: “Lubavitch of North Carolina wishes you a happy Chanukah!” O “Chapel in the Oaks* Jkuu/ A / IFUNERAL DIRECTORSl 500 Providence Road Telephone: 332-7133 CELEBRATING OUR 114th ANNIVERSARY
