Shul By the Shore kicked off its celebration of Chanukah in a big way, lighting a massive Ice Menorah, Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Belmont\u00a0Shore synagogue, located on 2nd Street, dubbed its celebration, appropriately, Fire and Ice, and there was plenty of both given the size of the menorah which towered over the sizeable crowd which came to sing, dance, listen and eat. Latkes? Donuts? Yes!<\/p>\n

The Ice Menorah, which is really spectacular when seen in person, will be lit for each of the eight nights of Chanukah. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Of course, you can always start by looking at these …<\/p>\n
