St. Petersburg, Florida – The Chabad Jewish Center of St. Petersburg’s highly anticipated FLAME event lit up Downtown St. Pete like never before! The event was held on Saturday, December 28th at the Savant on Second. This annual Chanukah party brought together Jewish young professionals for a night of connection, tradition, and celebration that exceeded all expectations.
With over 115 enthusiastic attendees, FLAME was a vibrant and dynamic evening filled with energy, laughter, and tradition. The celebration began with the ceremonial Grand Menorah Lighting, a moment that embodied the spirit of unity and Jewish pride. Jay Feldman of Otter PR a.k.a LeadGen Jay kindled the menorah’s four candles, while The Jac Smith Group had the honor of lighting the Shamash, the helper candle, a symbol of generosity and support. Together, these moments set the stage for a truly special night of community and celebration.
The festivities continued with a variety of experiences that kept the fun flowing all night long. Guests indulged in delicious latkes from the Fresh Latke Station, where creative toppings like Margarita, Sababa, and the Delicious Majestic elevated this Chanukah staple to new heights. At the open bar, signature cocktails such as the “Dizzy Dreidel” added a festive twist, while the Epic Dreidel Tournament brought out everyone’s playful, competitive side. Adding to the night’s excitement was the Ugly Chanukah Sweater Contest, where attendees showed off their most outrageous holiday attire, filling the room with creativity and laughter. A dessert bar overflowing with fresh jelly donuts provided the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible evening.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Lebovics, the driving force behind FLAME, expressed his joy and pride in the event: “This night is all about having fun, celebrating Chanukah with friends, and meeting new people.
