The Menorah candle lighting for the first night of Chanukah attracted a huge celebratory crowd. The Menorah was made from canned food, which will be donated to needy families after the eight days of Chanukah.

A balloon artist attracted long lines with his Menorah and Dreidel balloons, at the Stoneridge Mall Pleasanton. The first candle was lit by a member of the Chabad family, with music that followed.
