Rockland Officials Joined For Lighting of the Public Menorah

On Monday evening dozens of residents attended Lighting of the Menorah outside the front of the Allison-Parris County Office Building at 11 New Hempstead Road.

“It is always important that we gather, regardless of religion, to celebrate the holiday season,” said County Executive Day. “There is plenty of room in Rockland to accommodate every religion, culture, and ethnicity; all of us are enriched by exposure to cultures and beliefs other than our own. We are all unique and can benefit from learning from each other and listening to each other.”

The County would like to acknowledge the Chabad of Rockland for organizing the events bringing together families and sparking celebrations of diversity.
