Jewish families and local residents will gather today at Huntington Green in Shelton for the annual community menorah lighting. This year’s event follows a deadly antisemitic attack in Bondi Beach, Australia, and is intended as both a holiday celebration and a public stand against hatred. Rabbi Shneur Brook of Chabad of Shelton emphasized the menorah as a symbol of hope and resilience. Local police will provide increased security. The event is open to all, featuring traditional lighting, music, holiday treats, and a laser show.
