Each year at council chambers we hold a Chanukah ceremony and for the second year running we also have a Menorah displayed outside. We do this as a symbol of our ongoing friendship and support of the Jewish community here on the North Shore.
Chanukah is an annual festival commemorating Israel’s freedom from oppression in the 2nd Century BC. It continues to be celebrated today with this year’s festival starting from 25th December to 2nd January.
Also celebrated each year is our annual Chanukah on the (St Ives Village) Green, organised by Chabad North Shore and sponsored by Council. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with shows, rides, games, entertainment, arts and craft, faceprinting, Menorah lighting and fireworks. Hope to see you there, and for more information visit.
