Hanukkah celebrations will be lighting the way around the Okanagan valley.

Chabad Okanagan will be bringing Chanukah events to the entire valley for its eighth year.

鈥淲e service the whole Okanagan, so each year for Chanukah we try to make it around the whole valley in order to include everyone,鈥� said Rabbi Shmuly Hecht.

A celebration and light up will take place in 91大黄鸭, across from City Hall, Dec. 2; in Vernon at the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives Dec. 3; in Salmon Arm at Piccadilly Mall Dec. 4; in Penticton at the Cannery Dec. 5; at the Oliver Correctional Centre Dec. 6; 91大黄鸭 General Hospital Dec. 7 and in Peachland Dec. 8.

Led by Rabbi Shmuly Hecht, these family-friendly celebrations represent religious freedom and diversity as well as an opportunity to learn about Jewish values, culture and tradition.
