Around 100 community members gathered at the Hillel House on Richmond Street to march across campus at 1 p.m. on Thursday, calling for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
LONDON, ONT. The holiday season is in full swing, with Hanukkah set to begin Thursday and Christmas just over two weeks away. But many places of worship are shifting gears and planning for a different celebration this year, due to the risk of COVID-19. The programing director at Jewish London, Erick Robinson, says in most years the community would gather for a huge party inside the Jewish Community Center on Huron Street to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah. This would include lighting of the menorah, playing games and eating delicious traditional food. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve had to shift to a virtual celebration.
