This evening, Joel James MS, attended a Menorah Lighting Event organised by Cardiff United Synagogue at the Senedd, to celebrate Hanukkah with the local Jewish Community.
Taking place on the Senedd steps, the celebration saw MS’s, the First Minister, dignitaries and the Jewish Community celebrate and kindle a 9-foot menorah.
Hanukkah, the festival of lights, began on the 7th of December and runs until the 15th of December.
Speaking after the celebration, Joel said:
It was very humbling to witness the lighting of the Menorah this week at the Welsh Parliament, as the Welsh Jewish community celebrates Hanukkah. A new year always brings with it the chance for change, and I hope that next year will be one of peace, kindness, and love.
