Temple Sinai to mark start of Hanukkah

Today is the first day of Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. The holiday will run through sundown Dec. 16.

Temple Sinai, 713 Hodges St., will hold a special Hanukkah service at 6 p.m. Friday, with “A Chanukah Family Night Dinner” to follow.

Rabbi Barry Weinstein, who leads services here and at Temple Shalom in Lafayette, has said that Hanukkah is also a “celebration of the concept of religious freedom.”
