Riverdale Menorah Lighting


   On Sunday The second night of Chanukah Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz lit the traditional Riverdale Menorah, the largest menorah in the Bronx. In the photos below you will see the menorah top on its side before being put up, and the Con Edison truck with its lift bucket to hoist the rabbi and elected official up to light the giant menorah. You can click on any photo to enlarge it.
