The celebration at Suburban Square started off with fun activities and traditional and festive treats.
The eight-day Jewish celebration commemorates the rededication of the second Temple in Jerusalem during the 2nd century BC.
"There's many answers to darkness, but in truth, the Jewish response needs to be to always bring in more light. In a world that seems sometimes very dark, and a time where maybe anti-Semitism is somewhat on a rise, the one part that is so important for us to do is realize we need to light a candle," said Rabbi Mendy Cohen with Chabad Main Line.
