Reuven Tanny lights the menorah in Mountain Village (Julia Caulfield\/KOTO)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Across the globe Jews are lighting menorahs and celebrating with their families. But in Mountain Village, Colorado a group of \u201cRoving Rabbis\u201d are doing things a little differently. KOTO\u2019s Julia Caulfield has more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The sun is setting on the shortest day of the year in Mountain Village.<\/p>\n

Blasting over loudspeakers is a pop dance beat, but it\u2019s not a song you\u2019re likely to hear on a Top 40 countdown.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the 4th night of Hanukkah and a group of rabbinical students from New York City \u2013 the Roving Rabbis \u2013 are in town for a menorah lighting.<\/p>\n

Over 100 members of the community and visitors brave the cold temperatures to celebrate and partake in the lighting. Rabbi Mendy Hirsch speaks to the gathered crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight we join millions of Jews around the world who are making the fourth night of the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah,\u201d <\/em>Rabbi Hirsch shares with the crowd, \u201cFamilies all across the globe are gathering together to kindle these incredible flames.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Rabbis are on a whistle-stop tour of Utah, Colorado, and Texas lighting menorahs and celebrating Hanukkah.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach one of us has the spark of God within us. We all have our menorah, we all have our light, and the goal that we came here tonight for, is to ignite that light, to make sure that light is revealed, to make sure we have that light, and that light stays with us,\u201d <\/em>Hirsch says, \u201cWe know that when we have a candle in a dark room, if you light even one candle, the entire room gets lit up. The same is with our soul, with our Godliness. When we add in light, and we awaken our Neshama \u2013 our inner soul, the light of God inside of us, that lights up our surrounding, that helps us through our challenges. That is how we celebrate Hanukkah.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

After a few words from Mountain Village Mayor, local resident Reuven Tanny gets up to light the first four candles of the Menorah, as Rabbi Shmuly Wudowsky leads the blessings.<\/p>\n

The lighting complete, dance music returns, the rabbis serve latkes and donuts, someone\u2019s dressed up as a dradle and is dancing.<\/p>\n

For Tanny, the lighting is a beautiful expression of community and the joy of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me love Telluride even more, to just see the holiday spirit. I know a lot of people don\u2019t really know much about Hanukkah, and it\u2019s great for everybody to get together and celebrate,\u201d <\/em>Tanny says.<\/p>\n

The celebration continues as the sky lights up in a brilliant sunset\u2026but soon, the Roving Rabbis will leave Mountain Village\u2026heading to Crested Butte, then Texas, spreading the light and love of Hanukkah with more small communities across the West.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
