Leeds Civic Interfaith Chanukah Candle Lighting

On 18 December 2025, the Leeds Civic Interfaith Chanukah Candle Lighting brought together communities in a meaningful celebration of light, unity, and shared understanding.

The event was attended by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Dan Cohen, alongside representatives from across the city’s diverse communities.

During this special ceremony, all candles were lit from the World Peace Flame—creating a powerful symbol of connection between traditions and a shared commitment to peace. The moment reflected the deeper meaning of Hanukkah, where light is used to inspire hope, resilience, and togetherness.

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone involved in this beautiful and significant event. Moments like these highlight how the World Peace Flame can bring people together across cultures and beliefs in a spirit of harmony and respect.
