BLACKSBURG, Va. – The first of eight nights of Hanukkah begins Thursday evening at sundown.
Hanukkah is meant to be celebrated as a community or large family gathering things that can’t happen right now. Chabad, a Jewish group at Virginia Tech, usually hosts a public menorah lighting on campus with hundreds of others, and this year that’s just not possible. Rabbi Zvi Zwiebel who leads Chabad said that does not mean the holiday is completely over.
“Things are always different, that doesn’t mean they’re not powerful,” said Zwiebel.
