Main Street Vineland will join the Jewish Federation of Cumberland, Salem and Gloucester Counties in the celebration of Hanukkah — the Jewish “Festival of Lights” — with a menorah lighting on the 600 block of Landis Avenue, across from Landis MarketPlace, on Monday, Dec. 23, at 5:30 p.m.
The annual “Chanukah Live” lighting of the Chanukiyah (Chanukah menorah), the largest in South Jersey, is organized by the Jewish Federation and will include music, dancing, holiday refreshments and fellowship. Main Street Vineland has incorporated this Vineland Jewish holiday tradition into its schedule of events for the holiday season.
The menorah lit in downtown Vineland was constructed by Kane Steel, of Millville, in 1994. It has been a fixture over the years at various Vineland locations for Hanukkah and has been situated for the past four years at the site of the former Precision Watch and Clock building. The business was owned by the late Leon Zylberman, a Holocaust survivor.
“Vineland has a rich history of many cultures, with the Jewish culture having deep roots here. I am happy and proud that we can use occasions like this to honor and recognize the many faiths and cultures that come together at this time of year,” said Main Street Vineland executive director Russell Swanson. “I hope that people of all faiths and creeds can come together on The Ave for the commemoration of this holiday.”
“A little light dispels much darkness,” said Rabbi Yisroel Rapoport of Sons of Jacob Congregation in Vineland, who was the guiding force behind the construction of the menorah and the annual “Chanukah Live” ceremonies for over two decades.
