Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, On December 21, 2008, the 25th day of Kislev, Congregation B'nai Zion celebrated the festival of Chanukah. Over 150 people from the community of Key West gathered at CBZ for an evening of companionship, food, entertainment, and, of course, the ceremonial lighting of the candles. Alan Soloman and the fundraising committee were overwhelmed by the response from the community. A fun time was had by all. Hopefully next year people will send in their RSVP's so the guestimate for chairs, tables and food can be more accurate. Happy Chanukah 5769 And a Big Thank You to all those who contributed to make our wonderful Chanukah celebration.
