In honor of Chanukah, The Canadian Federation of Chabad Lubavitch organized a menorah lighting with the Rt. Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Stephen Harper. Present were Chabad Rabbis from across Canada, members of Parliament, Ministers, Ambassadors, and members of the Jewish community.

"The fact that Jews can now conduct this ceremony in so many countries, in public,in the supportive company of their non-Jewish fellow citizens is a reason for hope that the light of the Menorah may one day banish anti-Semitic bigotry into the darkness forever" said Mr. Harper.
