For over 35 years the town and the Chabad of Huntington Village have lit the menorah to usher in the Festival of Lights, which this year began on December 25.
Highlights of the night’s event will feature special musical guest, South African-born guitarist and composer Toby Tobias. Tobias shares his story of hope through music. The night will also include a fire show and juggling by acclaimed entertainment professional Greg Milstein and will conclude with traditional Hanukkah treats of sufganiyot (jelly donuts), chocolate gelt and hot chocolate.
