Over eight days from Thursday 10 to 18 December this year, the Jewish community of Melbourne is celebrating Hannukah, or Chanukah.
Pillars of Light, at Federation Square, provides Melburnians with an opportunity to come together over a multicultural celebration, to share the light, and focus on what unites us as a city, particularly after such a difficult year.
Maria Dimopoulos AM, Special Adviser, Multicultural Communities for the Victorian Government, spoke last Friday at the Pillars of Light.
“We all celebrate the light as symbol of love and multiculturalism, it is a celebration which began as conflict over 2000 years ago between the Seleucids and the community of Jews in Syria, which now brings us together,” Ms Dimopoulos said.
