In the presence of Częstochowa Deputy Mayor, Dr. Ryszard Stefaniak, guests were entertained with Chanuakh songs by Dariusz Wójcik vel Dawidek,  accompanied by pianist Szaweł Lipski.

The venue for the event was the Częstochowa TSKŻ branch’s new home, on the first floor of the Jewish Museum of Częstochowa at ul. Katedralna 8 which, before World War II, was a very Jewish district.
