Lighting of corn husk Menorah kicks off Hanukkah celebrations in Omaha
Over the next eight days, Omaha’s Jewish community will light the Menorah. It was something not done publicly until 1974. “All of a sudden over these last 50 years these public Menorahs that have become, you expect them in every city and every town,” Katzman said. At the celebration, a corn husk menorah was lit.
