Congressman Bob Turner (R-NY) joined the leadership of the Russian Jewish community in celebrating Chanuka at the event sponsored by Chabad Lubavitch of W. Brighton – Manhattan Beach.

The Congressman thanked the Russian speaking community for their vital role in providing their support in the upset election that installed a Republican congressman in a historically Democratic district, a political victory that made national headlines. He praised the activities of Chabad worldwide as well as Chabad’s influence in the greater Brighton Beach neighborhood.

The exclusive event was attended by prominent business and communal leaders who support the vast array of programs and activities spanning from WBrighton Beach through Manhattan Beach provided by Chabad. Dr. Sam Kliger, from the American Jewish Committee, said of the event, “Rabbi Zushe Winner lives with us in Brighton Beach for more then a quarter of a century, consequently he can bring together this VIP list of attendees”.

In his message Rabbi Winner, the official Chabad Shliach in the area, shared with the audience insights from the Rebbe on the theme of Chanuka, saying “The Maccabees fought against all odds only because they had the faith and conviction that light must prevail over darkness. They firmly believed that since the Almighty is everywhere and in everything, the power of the wicked can not last forever, for in the end good will triumph evil”.

The Chanuka dinner was a joint event, by Neshama - Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach led by Rabbi Avrohom Winner and Chabad Lubavitch of West Brighton Beach lead by Rabbi Moishe Dovid Winner and Rabbi Shimon Silver. The event was one the many Chanuka activities - including public lightings, children’s festivities and home visits – organized by Chabad.
