In 1975, rock ‘n’ roll impresario Bill Graham was approached by local San Francisco community leaders Rabbi Chaim Drizin along with Rabbi Yosef Langer of Chabad and Zev Putterman of KQED to create the first large-scale public menorah-lighting ceremony in the United States. Today, thousands of communities around the world celebrate Hanukkah with a large public menorah, each proudly displaying their local traditions and customs. In this video, travel around the world with us to experience Hanukkah as only Bill Graham could have imagined.
