Beverly Hazelkorn, a local Port Washington resident and Certified Public Accountant who had a practice on Main Street, passed away last July. Before her death, she asked Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel if her grandchildren could assist to light the menorah. With the help of her grandchildren lighting the huge menorah, the ceremony was dedicated in her honor and memory.
