Kennedy Plaza was alive with colorful lights and festive music as city officials and members of local synagogues celebrated the second night of Hanukkah on Dec. 13.
Rabbi Eli Goodman of Chabad of the Beaches and Jack Zanerhaft of Temple Emanu-El went up in the Long Beach Fire Department’s cherry picker to light the third candle and toss chocolate coins to the children in the crowd below them.
Despite the freezing temperatures, people danced in front of a band shell and ate jelly donuts and latkes next to a large spinning dreidel.
