Suzy Yarmus shared this photo taken by Sharon Murphy. There was a good turnout for the lighting. To celebrate the first lighting, children took turns reading about Chanukah. India Braine got to light the first candles. Her father, Bill Braine, helped her by lifting her up to the Menorah. Ariel played the Dreidel song on her recorder which she practiced all afternoon to prepare for the ceremony and Suzy said, “She didn't squeak at all.”
