For the 36th year running, Chabad NSW in conjunction with CBDChabad Sydney hosted Chanukah in the City located opposite NSW Parliament House.
Despite the unpredictable blustery weather, following a car menorah parade that snaked its way from Vaucluse to the Opera House via various iconic landmarks, the event was well attended by a wide range of Sydney Jewish community members as well as various representatives of the local and federal governments.
With the backdrop of classic Chanukah songs played by Cantor Niasoff and a special guest performance by Robert Tiecher, there were rides and entertainment for all.
The attendees were addressed by Senator Tim Ayres, representing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Kellie Sloane, Liberal candidate for Vaucluse who read a special letter for the event from the Premier.
After the lighting of the Menorah, the attendees enjoyed a comic juggling act by international performer Mr Gorski.
