Every year Chabad of Cyprus organizes a special Chanukah reception for the local Cypriot dignitaries, diplomats and other respectable guests.

The crowd was invited to take part at the communal Menorah lighting by the Chief Rabbi - Rabbi Arie Zeev Raskin.

A replica of the Jerusalem Holy Temple's golden Menorah was manufactured specially for this event.

Speeches were delivered by the Chief Rabbi, by the Ambassador of Israel - Mr. Avraham Haddad, and by Mr. Christofides during the ceremony leaded by the MC Mr. Warren Bright.

Once again the Festival of Lights was celebrated with splendour in this tiny, but illuminated island.
The Car-Menorahs conquered the streets with their light while a real marathon of events went on at the Centre, ensuring that none of the 8 days of the festival stays empty or boring.
Sharing light and warmth is definitely one of the biggest thing we can do for a better world.

Lately we have been doing big efforts to improve the Center and make it more comfortable to serve our community.

The latest new is the new roof, which was changed in order to keep us dry and warm in the Synagogue during the winter.
