The city of Troy will host a menorah lighting ceremony tonight (December 17) at One Monument Square at 5 p.m. Mayor Carmella Mantello will lead the event, joined by members of the local Jewish community. The ceremony celebrates Hanukkah and honors faith and tradition.
Due to a recent attack on a Hanukkah event in Australia, there will be an increased police presence to ensure the safety of attendees. This precaution reflects the city's commitment to public safety, as highlighted by recent successes in reducing crime through initiatives like Project Sentinel.
The community is encouraged to attend the ceremony to celebrate Hanukkah and support the city's efforts to maintain a safe and inclusive environment for all residents.
