Chabad joined the stricken community of Omaha, Nebraska in gathering for candlelight vigils for the victims of Wednesday's tragic shooting spree in Westroad Mall. In a poignant ceremony, Chabad Rabbi Mendel and Shani Katzman lit a menorah in front of Westroad Mall several hours after 19-year-old Robert A. Hawkins opened fire on the shoppers, reported Omaha.com.
Lighting the menorah in a place of such tragedy seemed an appropriate gesture."Hanukkah is symbolic of the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, right over might," said Katzman.
