On December 18, 2014 the Austrian Embassy, in partnership with the Washington Regional Office of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and AJC ACCESS, (AJC's Young Professionals Program), hosted the 4th annual Hanukkah celebration. After welcoming remarks, the Ambassador together with Alan Ronkin (Director of AJC Washington) and Nelson France (Co-Chair of AJC ACCESS) lit the candles of the Menorah while singer Ellie Greenberg entertained the guests with Hanukkah classics. Following the ceremony, a buffet dinner was served in the atrium of the Embassy providing the guests with an opportunity to mix and mingle.
