Lynbrook Celebrates Hanukkah with Menorah Lighting
 

All eyes were focused on the Menorah's single bulb and nine candles branches, and with a flick of a switch the Village of Lynbrook commemorated of the first day of Hanukkah with the lighting of the first candle. The single bulb was one of eight that was lit during the Jewish holiday, which ended December 19th.  The Jewish holiday commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century. The story states that there was only enough oil for one night and yet the oil lasted for eight nights.
