Jewish residents from around the Five Boroughs gathered on Sunday to kick off Hanukkah, which marked the second time the holiday fell during the COVID-19 pandemic â" though this yearâs festivities took a far more jubilant tone, with revelers cautiously welcoming back a return to normalcy.
âIâm proud to be here and participate in this moment as we bring our city back together,â said Borough President Eric Adams at a Manhattan ceremony. âWe need each other, and no matter how challenging it is, we know New Yorkers are resilient, strong, and weâre people of faith. And I say to all of you and your family, have a happy and safe Hanukkah.â
