The Temple Emanu-El Sisterhood created the annual Chanukah display at the Governor’s Mansion, and as a result, Emanu-El played a featured role in the menorah lighting ceremony first lady Sandra Deal hosted at the mansion Sunday, Dec. 13, to mark the eighth night of the Festival of Lights. The Reform congregation’s youth choir, Shir Hachovim, performed for the final hour of public holiday tours of the Buckhead mansion before the ceremony. In addition to the first lady and Gov. Nathan Deal, the event included Israeli Consul General Judith Varnai Shorer and Emanu-El’s clergy, Rabbis Spike Anderson and Scott Colbert and Cantor Lauren Adesnik, and Emanu-El bused members to the mansion for the celebration.
