My good friend Michael Trussler has attended the Devonshire Mall candle-lighting ceremony for the past two years. As he did last year, he took a huge number of photos during the event, while I took care of trying to make a video of the candle lighting ceremonies. My efforts to hold a digital camera steady for more than 20 minutes were largely unsuccessful (as you can see from the shaky YouTube video). Michael's efforts were far more professional.
Unlike last year, when I uploaded only a small fraction of the photos taken, I decided this year to upload them all. If you attended the event, you'll likely see yourself somewhere in these photos.
If you appear in any of these photos and would rather the photo(s) not be shown in public, please send an email identifying yourself and the actual photo(s) in which you appear, and I will do my best to remove (or alter) the photos at my earliest convenience.

Rabbi Galperin and the students of Massey Secondary School spearheaded the fourth annual lighting of the Giant Menorah at Devonshire Mall on Monday, December 10, 2012. As has become the tradition, a worthy charity, "Kids Kicking Cancer" was the recipient of the fundraising efforts.
Armed with a small digital camera and a fresh battery, one of the members of Congregation Shaarey Zedek was able to capture the entire candle lighting ceremony. Unfortunately, without a tripod, the video can be jumpy in spots. Those with queasy stomachs are urged to take their Gravol tablets before watching...
The video is available on YouTube, but can also be viewed here:
