Light came to downtown Beaufort on the first night of Hanukkah.
Rabbi Mendel Hertz with Chabad Greater Hilton Head hosted a Hanukkah celebration on Sunday, Dec. 18, at Henry C. Chambers Park in Beaufort.
The event featured the lighting of a 9-foot menorah, free donuts and latkes, music and a performance by Magic Mark.
“Hanukkah is about bringing light into the world,” Rabbi Hertz said, “bringing good acts, good deeds and making the world a better place.”
This is the second year that Chabad Greater Hilton Head has hosted a public menorah lighting.
This year they also held public menorah lightings on Hilton Head Island and in Ridgeland.
