About 40 members of the Kootenay Jewish community gathered at Bigby Place to celebrate Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, on Saturday. Hanukkah commemorates the miracle that took place on the temple mount in Jerusalem around 2,500 years ago. The evening here in Nelson included traditional food, song, and dance.
