SUNY Oneonta Students Light Menorah During First Night Of Hanukkah

SUNY Oneonta students celebrated first night of Hanukkah by lighting a menorah inside Hunt Union. Rabbi Meir Rubashkin, of the Chabad of Oneonta and Rohr Jewish Student Center, introduced SUNY Oneonta University Police Chief Dirk R. Budd, who was selected to light the shammash, which is the middle candle on the menorah. Rubashkin said he chose Budd because he has been instrumental in protecting Jewish students on campus since the terror attacks in Israel Oct. 7.
