On Saturday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m., the center will hold a Hanukkah celebration and concert where the emphasis will be on family, community and, in the case of the warrior dreidels, fun. "Everybody in the community is in­ vited," said RabbiNachmanSimon of the Delmar Chabad Center on Elsmere Ave­ nue. Simon said the event, which is one of a number being held at the center to mark Hanukkah, is designed to promote "holiday awareness" within the area's diverse Jewish community. ."TT!at's really it, it's just making people aware," Simon said.
