Celebrate Hanukkah at Bell Tower Shops

Area residents are invited to participate in the Grand Hanukkah Celebration at Bell Tower Shops newly renovated Center Court on Sunday, Dec. 13 from 3 to 5 p.m.

“We’ll be celebrating our 16th year at Bell Tower Shops,” said Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz of Chabad Lubavitch of Southwest Florida. “With more than 1,000 people in attendance, it is one of the largest Hanukkah celebrations in Southwest Florida.”

Free to the community, afternoon events include a lively outdoor concert featuring entertainer Eduardo Macadar, performing popular and traditional Israeli and Jewish folk songs. Activities will also include entertainment by a standup comic, plus kids’ events such as arts and crafts, balloon characters and a clown. Miracle Baseball mascot, Miss A-Miracle, is scheduled to make an appearance from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Free holiday treats will include latkes, one of the most famous Jewish foods and a specialty of Hanukkah.

The menorah, which will be on display throughout the eight days of Hanukkah, will also be lit followed by the playing of the traditional dreidel song while dancing around the fountain.
