Light Placemaking News Today

WHRO Public Media is dedicated to enhancing the lives of the citizens in the communities it serves by responding to their need to be engaged, educated, entertained and enlightened.

"The concern is of folks feeling like we are siding with a group over the other."

"At a time of well-documented, rising antisemitism, the singling out and targeting of Jews is dangerous and harmful, serving to further exclude and alienate our community."

Local Jewish groups said they were shocked and alarmed at LoveLight Placemakings anti-Semitic decision to pull a Menorah lighting ceremony.

LoveLight Placemaking, a nonprofit which hosts the 2nd Sundays Art and Music Festival in Williamsburg, Virginia, declined a proposal by a community rabbi to hold the lighting ceremony.
