Rabbi Mendel Hertz of Chabad Greater Hilton Head lights the menorah at sunset Thursday, Dec. 7, to begin the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Each lamp of the menorah commemorates the Jewish victory over the Syrian armies in 164 BC. Following the war, there was only a tiny bit of oil for lamps for re-dedication of the Second Temple of Jerusalem. Miraculously, the lamp burned for eight days. Bob Sofaly/The Island News
