For the seventh year, members of the Key West Jewish community and people from all faiths filled Bayview Park on Nov. 30 for the lighting of the menorah that stands alongside the city’s Christmas tree, which was lit the night before.
“This is really what Hanukkah is about — our community being able to come together and have the freedom to celebrate our faiths,” City Commissioner Sam Kaufman told the crowd before asking local dignitaries to light each of the menorah’s nine lights.
