Print Hoping to spread a light in The Village, Chabad of La Jolla held its menorah lighting outside the La Valencia Hotel on Dec. 13, adapting the annual Hanukkah celebration into a drive-through to align with pandemic-related restrictions. The hour-long celebration, which began at 5 p.m., included balloons and decorations strung across Prospect Street, music playing and a fire dancer performing at the stop sign at Herschel Avenue. Rabbi Baruch Ezagui, center, speaks against a backdrop of Hanukkah balloons and a fire dancer. The menorah is about “blessing our community with light,” he says. (Elisabeth Frausto) Speaking into a microphone at the intersection of Prospect and Herschel next to a large menorah, Rabbi Baruch Ezagui said: “We’re going to be blessing our community with light. That’s what the menorah is all about — not being satisfied with one light but adding another one and another one.”
