(WEST HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.) – Nassau County Legislator Olena Nicks (D – Uniondale) proudly joined West Hempstead’s Jewish community and allies at Halls Pond Park on Monday, Dec. for a menorah lighting led by Rabbi Yossi Lieberman of Chabad West Hempstead. “It was an honor and a joy to celebrate the light and joy of Hanukkah as we continue to hold space in our hearts for all who were affected by the recent attacks in Australia. We must continue to stand together as one, and I was deeply grateful to Rabbi Lieberman and the Chabad of West Hempstead for welcoming me to their beautiful celebration.”
