Christmas tree and menorah set Borough Hall ablaze with light
Borough Hall is ablaze with holiday spirit after its Christmas tree and Menorah were lit on December 6 and December 10, respectively.
The Christmas tree lighting thrilled local residents as Adriana Louise of NBC’s “The Voice” joined Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, nine-year-old Andrew Green, and elected officials to light the 40-foot Christmas tree in Borough Hall Plaza. The event featured an appearance by Santa, as well as free refreshments and gifts.
The Menorah lighting, which took place in front of the Supreme Court Building in Columbus Park and Borough Hall Plaza, was led by Rabbi Aaron Raskin of Congregation B’nai Avraham, joined by Rabbi Simcha Weinstein and Paul Amit, a parent from Kiddie Korner, who lit the menorah from a cherry picker.
