Rabbi Yossi Blesofsky, director of Chabad Lubavitch of Northeast Queens, once again brought out the crowds for a spectacular Chanukah menorah lighting ceremony, now in its 27th year. Graced with the presence of Congresswoman Grace Meng, State Senator John Liu, NYC Council Member Paul Vallone, Assemblymembers Ed Braunstein and Nily Rozic, and NYC Council Member-elects Linda Lee, Vickie Paladino, and Sandra Ung, Rabbi Blesofsky ascended via a cherry picker to the heights of the menorah for the formal lighting. Lynn Schulman expressed her delight with the program but was unable to attend.
