Hanukkah Menorah Lighting
December 10, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
This Thursday, December 10, the Milledgeville community will be embracing a new tradition. To recognize the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, a menorah has been installed on West Hancock Street in the new plaza.
Milledgeville resident, Allison Bloodworth spearheaded the fundraising effort to purchase and place a nine-foot Menorah downtown on the Hancock Plaza. In an effort to move toward tolerance and diversity, this placement is extremely meaningful for the Jewish Community and our community as a whole. This is not a common occurrence in our state nor country. Supporting this new tradition is an amazing opportunity to strengthen our community and show acceptance of all people.
The Menorah Lighting will take place at 6pm on West Hancock Street in front of The Local Yolkal Cafe. People planning to attend the Lighting will need to wear a mask and social distance.
