BRONX, NY – Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) and Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj (D-Bronx) hosted their 22nd annual Chanukah celebration at Bronx House on Wednesday, December 27. Bronx children, senior citizens and local faith leaders gathered to light a menorah at Bronx House, Einstein Hospital, and Peace Plaza.  Attendees enjoyed hot cocoa, cookies and gelt as they sang traditional songs.
