The Menorah was lit for the first night of Hanukkah. Hear more from District 6 Commissioner Khadijah Abdur-Rahman. This is the time of the year when families come together whether its to string bulbs, light lights, or just to come together in love. This is what you call a universal time to work against darkness; so this is my best time of the year for all different cultures to come together in their own way and celebrate love.
