WESTFIELD It’s been a dark year, but Hanukkah is a reminder that people can bring the light they wish to see into the world.
“We are that light,” said Cantor Colman Reaboi, spiritual leader of Congregation Ahavas Achim in Westfield. “To do good. That is how people glow.”
Reaboi and the small congregation hosted a community Hanukkah celebration Friday, the second night of the eight-night Jewish Festival of Lights. As a group they lighted the second candle on the community menorah set up on Park Square Green in the center of the city.
