Allerton Avenue Menorah Lighting

 

Sunday was the fourth day of Chanukah and the Menorah that was placed on Allerton Avenue at Boston Road was to be lit by Rabbi Pewzner. The Rabbi brought the traditional Jelly Donuts with him, and presented the movie about Chanukah around the world.

Joining Rabbi Pewzner was Allerton International Merchants Association President Gene De Francis, Community Board 11 Land Use Committee Chair Kenneth Gelnick, and CB 11 member Debra Kawalick, along with about twenty-five other people. Since this was the fourth day of Chanukah the middle light plus the four lights on the right side of the middle light were lit.
