Festivities will include a grand Menorah lighting ceremony on the plaza prior to the game; commemorative souvenir t-shirts ; Glatt Kosher hotdogs for sale inside the forum and more.

On the West Coast, Chabad of Oregon will bring the celebration of Chanukah to the  NBA Portland Trailblazers. (Shmais.com)
