BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – (FOX 35) – The Jewish community came together this weekend to celebrate Hanukkah and this year, the “Festival of Light” felt a little different.
A parade of 100 cars filled the streets of Brevard County on Sunday for the Israel Unity Parade as the community celebrates Hanukkah.
“It’s amazing to see so many Jews coming together, especially in these times. Israel. The war,” said a parade attendee. “We’re spreading the light. We’re not afraid of anyone.”
Pictures of the Israeli hostages in Gaza were lined up outside Chabad Viera Sunday.
“It is with mixed emotions that we celebrate this Hanukkah,” said Rabbi Zvi Konikov of Chabad of the Space & Treasure Coasts. “There are real, live beautiful people that are right now crying in Israel because their loved ones are with gangsters and monsters. There’s no other words to describe them. And we want to show our voices that we are clamoring until we bring them back,” Rabbi Konikov said.
