Hanukkah festivities underway

Cantor Naomi Weiss of Kol Shofar Synagogue leads a sing-along as a crowd gathered to usher in the first of Hanukkah’s eight nights at Fountain Plaza on Dec. 18. Kol Shofar will continue host lightings nightly through Dec. 25. A separate faith tradition, Chabad of Tiburon, was to hold its lighting Dec. 20, after The Ark’s press deadline, and is planning another at 5 p.m. Dec. 22 at the Belvedere Community Center.
