A menorah lighting will take place in Herrick Park in East Hampton Village on Friday at 4:30 p.m., organized by Chabad of the Hamptons with cocoa, chocolate coins, and raffle prizes. The event will be preceded by a parade of lights from the Chabad house on Woods Lane starting at 3:30 and an ice-carving demonstration at Herrick Park once the “menorahcade” arrives.

Reservations are being taken on the Chabad website for a Saturday Shabbat dinner of Israeli-inspired dishes. Lighting of a menorah will be at 4 p.m., with the meal to begin at 5:30. Seats at the table are by donation; $50 per guest has been suggested.
