Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck helped to light a giant menorah Monday night. The ceremonial lighting at City Hall, led by the Chabad of Arlington, helped celebrate the fifth day of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. People enjoyed a Chanukah musical, arts and crafts for kids, as well as latkes and donuts.

The Jewish holiday commemorates the rededication of the Jewish Temple by the Maccabaeus in 165 B.C. and is celebrated for eight days. This year, the celebration started Wednesday, Nov. 27 and ends Wednesday, Dec. 4.
