RESIDENTS in Brent are gearing up to celebrate the traditional Jewish festival of Chanukah.
A menorah, the traditional seven-branched candelabrum, will be lit at Brent Town Hall each evening at sunset between December 11 and December 18 as part of the festival.
Councillor Jim O'Sullivan, Mayor of Brent, is hosting a evening of entertainment on Wednesday, December 16, at the town hall, featuring performances by beatboxer Daniel Brill, and the North West London Jewish School choir, and a Chanukah play by pupils from Michael Sobell Primary School.
The eight-day Jewish festival, also known as the Festival of Lights, involves eating traditional foods like doughnuts and potato cakes.
