Chanukah, which is known as the Festival of Lights, begins this year on the evening of Sunday, November 28th, 2021 Sandwiched between Thanksgiving and Chanukah, we have a day that will be the cream of the cookie! Allow me to explain. Thanksgiving is all about thanking God for all of the things he’s constantly blessing us with. Chanukah is known for the miracle of the Menorah that took place in the Temple, but the holiday was called Chanukah from the word Chanukat Habayit (lit Dedication of House), because it was the rededication of the Temple, after being occupied by the Greeks. Chanukah also comes from the word Chinuch, which means education. During this holiday we are supposed to gather our families together and educate our children and ourselves, about the miracles done for us on a constant basis. Together with recalling the original Chanukah miracles, we remind our families about the personal family stories that we each have, that brought us to where we are today. It’s by no coincidence then, that the Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new Chabad Educational Center is scheduled for Sunday, November 28th, Chanukah, Page 7A

Broward Inspector General John W. Scott announced today that the Broward Office of the Inspector General (OIG) issued a final report finding that Town of Pembroke Park commissioners Howard Clark and Reynold Dieuveille violated Florida’s open meetings law (the Sunshine Law) when they met privately in the town hall gym to discuss a matter that the town commission took up the next day. At the time, Clark was the town’s Vice Mayor. He resigned from his seat on September 22nd, 2021, after continuously serving on the Town Commission for over 30 years. The OIG Investigation determined that, on September 22nd, 2020, Clark intentionally spoke privately with Dieuveille about what to do about another commissioner’s official town roles as clerk-commissioner and Police Liaison, given denigrating claims that had surfaced about the other commissioner. Town Hall video footage and Dieuveille’s subsequent statements to town employees corroborated Dieuveille’s interview with the OIG, in which he admitted to the meetings. Clark first approached
