Massachusetts man donates 6-foot menorah to replace one stolen in San Francisco
In what is being called a Hanukkah miracle, a Sharon, Mass., man has donated a large menorah to a California community in the wake of their menorah's theft.
As reported by NBC Bay Area, when Yochanon "Mitch" Bogart heard that a 6-foot, 100-pound menorah displayed in the city's Washington Square Park had been stolen over the weekend, he jumped into action.
After spending around $300 to overnight the handcrafted wooden menorah to North Beach Chabad of San Francisco's Rabbi Peretz and Miryum Mochkin, it arrived on Wednesday, Dec. 28. Bogart valued the new, collapsible fir menorah at around $700, but said the money wasn't what was important.
