Menorah lighting

BY BRIAN MARSCHHAUSER Town Supervisor Matt Slater and
EDITOR Rabbi Yehuda Heber clap and sing

Yorktown celebrated the rst along to the “The Dreidel Song.”
night of Chanukah on ursday,
Dec. 10, with a public menorah
lighting at Jack DeVito Veterans
Memorial Field.

Dozens watched the ceremony
from the eld, but many others
watched from the safety of their cars
after arriving in a parade that depart-
ed from the Chabad of Yorktown.

Town Supervisor Matt Slater
lighted the shamash—the “atten-
dant” candle that is used to kindle
the other lights—and Rabbi Yehuda
Heber lighted the rst candle. At
the ceremony, following remarks by
Slater and Heber, those in atten-
dance said some blessings and sang
songs.

“As we light the menorah tonight, we will have in mind all those who
lost their lives to the pandemic and those who are in need of a complete
recovery,” Heber said. “May our prayers be answered, and may we witness
Chanukah miracles as they did long ago.”

Chanukah originated more than 2,100 years ago when a small army
called the Maccabees defeated the Syrian Greek army. e Jewish people
took back the temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it with a menorah
lighting. Heber said it’s important to shine a light in darkness, especially
during trying times like the world has experienced this year.

“Chanukah is a time of uncovering deep strength within each of us,
strength that even we ourselves may not have been unaware of,” Heber
said. “When circumstances are trying, we call upon our inner reserves of
faith and determination to remain positive and persevere.”

e ceremony was live streamed on Yorktown’s Facebook page.
“I would assume that although in-person attendance is limited, there
are and will be more people watching the menorah lighting this year than
in the past years,” Heber said. “Still, we look forward to next Chanukah,
where we all can celebrate in person once again.”

Rabbi Yehuda Heber lights
the first candle.

Girls Scouts ‘Share the Warmth’

Over two weekends in November, Yorktown Girl Scout Troop 1474 spearheaded a “Share the Warmth” pajama and blanket drive for the Northern Westchester Community
Center, which provides food and clothing to people in need.

When all the donations were collected, the troop was able to give the Community Center almost 70 pounds of brand-new pajamas and blankets and almost 150 pounds of
gently used clothing and blankets.

Troop members Cara Gomez, Addison Schluter,
Mia Horn, Kaitlyn Horn, and Olivia Lippoth accept
donations at the United Methodist Church.
