FARMINGVILLE, NY — Brookhaven officials celebrated the start of Hanukkah at the community Menorah lighting ceremony at Town Hall in Farmingville on Tuesday.

Rabbi Mendy Goldberg of the Lubavitch of the East End/Chabad House of Coram led the event, which featured traditional Hanukkah songs and stories, refreshments, and hot latkes and donuts.

The Chabad House's focus is to provide an environment for Jewish men, women, and children that is relaxed, yet challenging, a place of stability but full of movement and growth, and an atmosphere for reflection and joyous expression, officials said.
