The menorah at the lake was officially lit in a ceremony last weekend with Mayor Thao in attendance along with Rabbi Dovid Labkowski and members of the Oakland Jewish community, Mayor Thao said."I am outraged by this desecration and act of vandalism," Mayor Thao said. "The Lake Merritt Menorah is a long-standing and important symbol for Oakland's Jewish community and it breaks my heart that it was vandalized." Buster Posey suggests SF ‘crime’ and ‘drugs’ may have been factors in Ohtani going to LA "I want to be very clear that what happened was not just an attack on Oakland's Jewish community but our entire city and our shared values," Mayor Thao continued.
