Rabbi Yosef Orenstein, is pictured bottom left,  with members of  the Valley Chabad CTeen group of Woodcliff Lake. They joined thousands of people — including more than 100 teens from four Bergen County Cteen chapters —  Franklin Lakes, Teaneck, and Tenafly —  and over 30 Cteen chapters from across the tristate area, for Jewish Heritage Night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The star-studded event included lighting a basketball menorah, a performance by acclaimed Jewish superstar Yoni Z, and a “rabbis vs. teens” halftime game.

The Nets were one of at least 17 professional sports teams around North America to host Chanukah menorah lightings and parties this year.
