While the Washington Capitals hosted the Anaheim Ducks for a rare Sunday matinee, a large crowd formed at Fair Hill Shopping Center in Olney, Md. to celebrate their community and to light the first candle of the menorah for the first night of Hanukkah.
Each year, the Chabad synagogue in Olney has a tradition of building a large themed menorah and lighting it beside a community Christmas tree in the bustling suburban shopping center. This year’s unique menorah, conceived by Daniel Gittleson, is made of hockey sticks to commemorate the Washington Capitals winning the Stanley Cup.
