Chanukah celebrations were taken to a new level on Wednesday night, as a caravan of over 35 cars including an RV led by a Rolls Royce Phantom, with flashing Menorahs on the rooftop, were escorted through Town of Mont Royal to celebrate the Festival of Lights.

Rabbi Moshe Krasnanski, Director of Chabad TMR,  shared that, “in a town where Jews couldn’t live just 75 years ago, this was a celebration of religious freedom and inclusivity of all in Montreal and Quebec.”

“The caravan carried a message of right over might and pride of identity.”
