Holiday Menorah Lighting
Hanukkah is 1 of the 2 major December holidays celebrated in Bergen County. Christmas is the other followed by Kwanza and New Year’s Eve. As a result many towns have both giant menorahs and Christmas trees in their town square or other public place. Holiday menorah lighting usually includes a celebration too so it’s a lot of fun for all of us.
Here are menorah lightings in Bergen County –

There may be towns I’ve missed in addition to these. While I’ve spent a good deal of time looking up Menorah lightings, there may be some 
I’ve not found. Please contact me with any I’ve missed.
Also I found a great website that has everything you want to know about Hanukkah. Because I’m not Jewish, this fun and informative website is a big help. As a result, I better understand and appreciate Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. To quote Martha Stewart, that’s a good thing.
