The public Menorah lightings are organized by Chabad Rabbi Zalman Mendelsohn, Executive Director of the Chabad Jewish Center of Jackson Hole, who remarked, \u201cThe Menorah serves as a symbol of Jackson’s\u00a0dedication to preserve and encourage the right and liberty of all its citizens to worship freely, celebrate\u00a0openly, and share in our diversity with\u00a0pride.\u00a0\u00a0Specifically\u00a0in America, a nation that was founded upon and vigorously protects the right of every person to practice his or her culture\u00a0free from restraint and persecution, the Menorah takes on profound significance, embodying both Chanukah tradition and constitutional principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Chabad Jewish Center of Jackson Hole<\/b><\/p>\n

Simply put, Chabad’s mission is to reach out to others with acts of goodness and kindness. We\u2019re a community-based nonprofit organization whose efforts are rooted in traditional Jewish values — and many of our programs help the needy regardless of background or belief.<\/p>\n

Chabad Rabbi Zalman and Mrs. Raizy Mendelsohn came to serve the Jewish community of Wyoming in 2007 and now run a network of nonsectarian educational and social services. Thanks to our generous supporters, we\u2019ve been able to educate, comfort, and give hope to countless people in need.<\/p>\n

Chabad Jewish Center of Jackson Hole is part of the largest Jewish organization in the world, with over 3,700 branches spanning the globe. Chabad embraces a philosophy of study, meditation, and social outreach that combines rigorous academics with proactive community involvement. Our rapidly growing array of educational, cultural and social services programs has made us one of the most dynamic forces in modern Jewish life. \u201cChabad\u201d is a Hebrew acronym for \u201cWisdom, Understanding and Knowledge. Founded in 1772 by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, Chabad promotes the mystical, traditional, legal and social principles of the Torah — while using modern methods and technology for education, community outreach, youth programs, crisis intervention, and other social services.<\/p>\n

Chabad has consistently been at the forefront of Jewish education and community activism. The work of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Chabad Rebbe of blessed memory who assumed leadership of the movement in 1950, is legendary. Motivated by a profound love for humanity and spurred by boundless optimism, the Rebbe lifted the global Jewish community from the ashes of the Holocaust and launched an unprecedented range of Jewish institutions, outreach programs and social services.<\/p>\n

Today, more than 4,600 of the Rebbe\u2019s emissaries and a workforce of more than 20,000 continue and expand the Rebbe\u2019s mission to create a world of goodness, kindness and Godliness, as Chabad constantly innovates new approaches in educational, social and community services throughout the world.<\/p>\n
