East Cobb Menorah lightings begin Hanukkah observances

East Cobb Menorah lightings

From our calendar listings, and amid the many Christmas festivities that are ongoing, comes the start of eight days of Hanukkah.

There will be two community Menorah lightings taking place in East Cobb on Sunday, at the same time.

Congregation Etz Chaim is holding a community Hanukkah party from 2-4 at the synagogue (1190 Indian Hills Parkway) before the Menorah lighting that starts at 5 p.m. at East Cobb Park (3322 Roswell Road).

Both events are free and are open to the community. The “Winter Wonderland” party, also put on by Temple Kol Emeth, Temple Beth Tikvah and Temple Kellihat Chaim, will include treats, crafts, and more and you’re asked to sign up here.

Chabad of Cobb and The Avenue East Cobb are teaming up for another Menorah lighting starting at 5:30 p.m. at the retail center (4475 Roswell Road) with family-friendly activities and treats, and the chocolate Gelt drop, courtesy of the Cobb County Fire Department.

The event is free and is located in the front parking lot near Tin Lizzy’s, away from the construction fencing.

After a soggy week of rain, Sunday’s weather will be clear, but cold, with high temperatures in the mid 40s. So bundle up.
