WHEREAS, Chanukah, known as the Festival of Lights, is among the most widely celebrated of the Jewish holidays and is a time for joyous family gatherings and the kindling of the Menorah and the central tenet of Chanukah is to publicize and celebrate the miracle which occurred over 2,000 years ago in the Maccabees’ heroic battle to preserve their religious liberty; and
WHEREAS, the message of Chanukah resonates powerfully with the fundamental values of American life and culture and the great principles of equality and religious freedom upon which was founded this great nation and this year’s celebration comes as so many will be isolated at home amid these difficult times and with the recognition of the crucial need for a message of hope and healing; and
WHEREAS, centers of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in the City of Elgin have initiated a series of safe events, as a part of the worldwide Chanukah campaign, an initiative launched by the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory in 1973, highlighting the enduring message of Chanukah and its message of religious freedom; and
WHEREAS, these events in Elgin, occur during the Chanukah festival, coinciding this year with December 10 to December 18, 2020.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, David Kaptain, Mayor of the City of Elgin, Illinois, do hereby join with the entire Elgin community in proclaiming December 10 – December 18, 2020 as Chanukah Week in the City of Elgin.
