league Linda Weiss said, "Of course,
we're horrified that these [bad] things
happen, no matter when or where, but
when you're here in this happy time
on this happy occasion, you don't
•
think about it."
As children listened to a concert by
the Ron Coden Show, Schiff spoke to
parents, who asked her if she thought
world events would hinder the night's
turnout. Schiff remarked that the
"evening's crowd may be more pen-
sive," but she expected people would
still choose to attend. A local televi-
sion station decided to cover world
events rather than the party at the last
minute, but that didn't dim the joy of
the young children who danced in
their newly created Menorah crowns.
They held chocolate gelt in their pock-
ets, and munched on sufganiyot, tradi-
tional jelly-filled Chanukah dough-
nuts, which were baked extra small
tonight to accommodate child-sized
mouths.
Nursery school teacher Rena
Weintraub called it an "incredible"
evening — "a first." She watched as
cars on Walnut Lake Road continually
slowed down to see the eight blue-out-
lined candles of the nine-foot tall
Chanukah menorah. At one point, she
said drivers lowered their car windows
to listen to the amplified sound of
Cantor Chaim Najman's Chanukah
blessings.
Bitran referred to the event as
publicizing the miracle of Chanukah,
on a major street, in a major city, to
celebrate our religious freedom. We
are here to assemble together to
express our Judaism and religious free-
dom in a group, as a communim"
Remembering the miracle of the
first Chanukah, and the oil burning in
the temple, he said, "We put the
menorah back where it began."
