2023 Menorah Lighting

Founded in October of 2021, Chabad of White Marsh became the 28th Chabad Center in Maryland – focusing on providing Jewish experiences and programming for families in the local community. Since that time, THE AVENUE at White Marsh has provided Chabad of White Marsh with a location to host an annual Menorah Lighting to celebrate Chanukah.

Chanukah, also known as the Festival of Lights, celebrates the rededication of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem. This 8-day celebration begins this year at sunset on Thursday, December 7th. THE AVENUE at White Marsh will light its 12-foot menorah on the fourth night – Sunday, December 10th, after sunset (now moved to Monday, December 11).
