Celebrating the Festival of Lights

December 31, 2019 by Laura Mulrooney

On the sixth evening of Hanukkah, Friday, December 27, “Rabbi Jeff” Zaremsky, celebrated the season with his followers at Beth-El Shalom Messianic Congregation, 1701 29th Ave. N. in St. Petersburg. 

The event started off with Hanukkah songs and prayer. Soon, it transitioned into a lesson about the “Festival of Lights.” The light-hearted lesson seemed to challenge the crowd equally, young folks and older practitioners of the faith.

Once the jests and cheers over Hanukkah trivia waned, Rabbi Jeff lit a 10-foot menorah. Dancing and prayer followed, along with a united menorah-lighting ceremony.
