On Sunday evening, representatives of the Chabad Association of Kolozsvár (Cluj Napoca in Romanian) held a Hanukkah candle-lighting celebration at the beginning of Deák Ferenc Street.
For the first time in the history of the capital of Transylvania, a Hanukkah menorah, with its nine branches (for 8 candles to be lit by the shammash) was placed in a public square, measuring 2.5 meters in height, reported szabadsag.ro.
During the ceremony, there was music and dancing, and the organizers distributed red scarves, doughnuts and tea to participants.

The victorious battle commemorated with the lights of Hanukkah
The night of November 28 marked the beginning of what is perhaps one of the best-known Jewish holidays, Hanukkah, during which we light one candle each day for eight days on a menorah (an eight-branched candlestick) to commemorate a miracle that happened more than 2,000 years ago and whose message of freedom and hope is still relevant today.
