The Long Island Nets are hosting a giant Hanukkah party before, during and after their basketball game on Sunday at NYCB Live�s Nassau Coliseum that will include the lighting of a menorah, a Jewish music performance and more.

�We�re trying to offer the Jewish community something spectacular,� says Rabbi Yossi Lieberman of Chabad of West Hempstead, which is one of the Long Island Jewish organizations partnering with the Nets. �In today�s world, we�re looking to display our pride and religious freedom, and this really gives us the arena for it.�

While the Nets officially dub it �Jewish Heritage Day,� Chabad of Long Island is billing it as a �Mega Chanukah Bash.� Here�s what�s happening during the celebration, which runs from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, when sundown marks the beginning of the eight-night holiday:

The Nets Game. The team will play the Lakeland Magic. During the game, the jumbotron will telecast Hanukkah-themed trivia questions. DJ Chony Milecki will spin Jewish tunes. �This is really part of our strategy to embrace and create relationships throughout Long Island as Long Island�s team, and the Jewish community is a critical part of Long Island�s fabric,� says Alton Byrd, vice president of business operations for the LI Nets. �Our mantra for the season is �More Than a Game� � we provide more than just basketball.�

A menorah lighting. At halftime, a giant menorah will be lighted to mark the start of the holiday.

A rabbis vs. teens faceoff. Jewish teenagers will play a team of rabbis in an eight-minute exhibition basketball game before the professional competition starts at 3.

A Kids� Zone. The zone will include inflatable obstacle courses, bounce houses and an inflatable basketball court. There�ll also be a video game truck, Hanukkah-themed arts and crafts, face painting and more.

A Yoni Z concert. At the completion of the Nets game, Jewish recording artist and songwriter Yoni Z will perform a one-hour concert of Jewish hits and pop music with revamped holiday lyrics, says Rabbi Dovid Weinbaum of the Chai Center in Dix Hills.

Optional kosher dinner. For $10 per person, families can order a glatt kosher dinner of a sandwich, chips and a drink. Regular stadium food will also be available for purchase.
