#Lex250 was in the house — or rather, at Emery Green — to celebrate the Lighting of the Menorah last Thursday 🕎
✨ The event was attended by various town and civic leaders including Sen. Cindy Friedman, Rep. Michelle Ciccollo, and Select Board Chair Jill Hai in a meaningful public celebration of light and resilience. The joyous event filled with song and celebration was organized by Lighting Up Lexington, in coordination with LexFUN!, local synagogues, and the Lexington Retailers Association — a true example of civic, faith, and community partners coming together.
Don’t forget to read Lex250’s article in the December Lexington Times, “Chanukah and the American Revolution,” uncovering The First Salute and an often-overlooked story of Jewish life during the American Revolution. Light over darkness. Tradition in the public square. Community across generations.
