Six Foot Menorah Lit In Chestertown For Hanukkah

In Kent County Sunday, the ceremonial lighting of the first Hanukkah candle on a 6-foot menorah at sundown in Chestertown’s downtown Fountain Park. The Evening Enterprise reports an additional candle will be lit on each successive night until, on the eighth night of Judaism’s winter festival of lights, Dec. 22, the menorah is fully illuminated. Sunday’s event, which began at 5 p.m., was sponsored by Main Street Chestertown, Chestertown Havurah and Washington College Hillel. The ceremony was abbreviated because of the bone-chilling cold.
