The Gutnick Mazal Jewish Center in Dollard-des-Ormeaux was not going to miss a chance to celebrate Chanukah with its congregation despite the limitations of indoor gatherings due to COVID 19.
âAt Mazal Chabad our goal is to include everyone, all ages, young and old and as we are a non profit organization, I wanted to maximize all that we can do at no cost to the community especially since Chanukah is a time to add in goodness & kindness,â Rabbi Sholom Davidsohn, Youth Director of Mazal Chabad told
The Suburban.
As a way to share the festivities of Chanukah, on the first night of the celebration âwe had daily Menorah lightings over zoom and facebook Live, with over 1700 viewers throughout Chanukah. This gave the opportunity for all to light their own Menorahs at the same time from the safety and comfort of their home.
