    On the Third night of Chanukah Governor Scott and Justice William Cohen joined Chabad of Burlington, headed by Rabbi Yitzchok and Mrs. Zeesy Raskin for a menorah lighting at the State House with a large crowd.

    Governor Scott earlier reflected on the meaning of the holiday in the midst of what many are calling a global rise in antisemitism. “I think it’s about kindness and acceptance and maybe just experiencing some of that yourself, coming to these events and supporting your neighbors is important,” Scott said.

    “It was an honor to join many Vermonters yesterday to celebrate the Festival of Lights at the annual State House Menorah Lighting ceremony. Wishing all Jewish Vermonters a very happy Chanukah.” The governor tweeted after the event.
