City of Acworth Newsletter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Menorah Lighting Ceremony Thursday, December 13 at 6:00 p.m. The City of Acworth invites everyone to its first Menorah Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, December 13, the sixth night of Hanukkah, at 6:00 p.m. The Menorah is located at the corner of Cowan Road and Main Street in Downtown Acworth. Rabbi Zalman Charytan from the Chabad Jewish Center will officiate the lighting with Mayor Tommy Allegood and guest of honor, Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens assisting. The eight day Jewish holiday commemorates the Jewish Maccabees' military victory over Syrian-Greek oppression more than 2,000 years ago. During Hanukkah, Jews across the world celebrate the miracle of light that burnt for eight days out of a single-days-worth of oil found in the Temple. One Hanukkah candle is lit the first night, December 8, and an additional candle is lit each successive night. The holiday is a celebration of religious freedom and hope. We look forward to seeing everyone tonight at the ceremony. Parking will be available at the old Days Chevrolet parking lot located at the intersection of Cowan and Main Street in Acworth.
