On December 19, Yeshiva University High Schools celebrated the last night of Chanukah at the French Consulate in New York City. The students participated in a Chanukah candle lighting ceremony with French Consul General Anne-Claire Legendre and Israeli Consul General Dani Dayan. The event featured performances by the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy/Yeshiva University High School for Boys Choir and the Samuel H. Wang Yeshiva University High School for Girls Stomp Club. Students and diplomats were joined by Yeshiva University Vice President for Legal Affairs Andrew Lauer, who spoke at the event and underscored its importance for the Jewish community and broader society: “On Hanukkah we celebrate the indomitable strength of the Jewish spirit and the divine light that has guided our people for millennia. May the light of this Hanukkah serve as a strong reminder of humanity’s task to illuminate the darkness and create a brighter tomorrow for all.”
