JOIN THE BOROUGH PRESIDENT IN LIGHTING BROOKLYN’S LARGEST MENORAH Competitive Latke Eating Contest Takes Center Stage 5:00-6:30 P.M. On Tuesday, December 27, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will be lifted in a cherry picker to light the Rabbi Jacob J. Hecht Menorah, standing about 25 feet tall it’s the largest menorah in Brooklyn. Thanks to Borough Hall’s new architectural lighting system, the façade of the building will also glow blue and white to celebrate the third night of Hannukah. Marty will assist the judges of Brooklyn’s own Latke Eating Competition. Three competitive eaters from the New York region will eat as many latkes as they can in three minutes. The contest winner will receive the Latke Eating Champion Trophy and an all-you-can-eat night out at Dougies BBQ & Grill, a kosher restaurant. The nine pounds of latkes used in the competition are from Benzi Food Products and will be cooked by Pastrami Box, a restaurant on Livingston Street. Hundreds of Brooklyn families will enjoy performances by The Dovid Altein Band and the Yeshiva of Flatbush Choir. Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin and Congregation B’nai Avraham will lead the ceremony and kosher holiday treats will be served. Prizes and free menorahs will also be available. This event is a collaboration between the Borough President, Congregation B’nai Avraham and the Chabad of Brooklyn Heights. For more information, the public can call Congregation B’nai Avraham at 718-596-4840 ext. 15. |
