Governor Greg Abbott celebrated Hanukkah with leaders of the Jewish group immediately on the State Capitol Menorah Lighting Ceremony in Austin. On the ceremony, attended by greater than 50 individuals, the Governor lit the shamash (maid candle) of the Menorah and defined the significance of Hanukkah to the Jewish group.
“Throughout Hanukkah, we have a good time and mirror on the power and resilience of the Jewish individuals,” mentioned Governor Abbott. “Hanukkah teaches a lesson within the significance of religion and perseverance within the face of adversity and reminds us to let our personal gentle shine even in darkish occasions. Cecilia and I want the Jewish group in Texas and around the globe a really joyful Hanukkah vacation.”
After the menorah lighting, Governor Abbott distributed gelt (Hanukkah chocolate cash) to the kids attending the ceremony.
