Rabbi, Catholic welder team up to create 25-foot menorah

Chabad Jewish Center of Naples is taking Hanukkah to new heights.

Specifically, 25 feet in the air. That’s the height of a menorah the group is working to erect for Chabad’s Hanukkah extravaganza, to be held Sunday at the Village on Venetian Bay.

The menorah symbolizes a miracle of ancient Judaism, when celebrants were rededicating the Holy Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt in the 2nd century B.C. The Jews had only enough oil to light the flame for one night, but it nevertheless kept burning for eight.
