FLEISCHMANNS - This past Sunday members of Congregation B'nai Israel in Fleischmanns and the public celebrated the beginning of the eight day Jewish festival of Chanukah.

The first electric candle of a six foot electric menorah was turned on.

Each night a new light will be turned on.

The group enjoyed donuts, chocolate "gelt" and dreidels used to play a holiday game were given out.

Joe and Nancy Michaels recited blessings for the occasion.

Thank you to 

Joe Michaels, Scott Moroff and Jesse Fried for putting up the menorah.

Additional thanks to the 

Delaware County Sheriff's department and the 

Margaretville Business

Association for their support.

The menorah can be viewed on the Main Street in Margaretville across from the DMV.
