MILWAUKEE — From all over Milwaukee, hundreds of people celebrated the second night of Hanukkah with a special performance from a world-renowned Jewish singer and rapper.

Chabad of the East Side hosted Nissim Black, an American-Israeli rapper/singer at a Milwaukee venue. Nissim Black performed some of his most popular songs for an eager crowd who knew all the words to his songs. Along with the concert, there was a menorah lighting, prayer, dreidel playing, donut bar, music synthesizers, arcade games, and more.

Dec. 26 was the second night of Hanukkah. During the eight days and nights of Hanukkah, various celebrations are being organized by local Jewish groups. The Jewish Community Center hosted a Hanukkah dinner that was accompanied by live music. The Hoan is being lit each night. Also, a public menorah is lit on Whitefish Bay on Silver Spring Drive. Different groups will light it each night around 5:30 p.m., except for Friday when it’s at 4:00 p.m. Congregation Shalom in Fox Point will host a Hanukkah service, dinner, and activities on Friday starting at 5:00 p.m.

Watch the interviews to see what it was like at the concert.

Each time the Brooklyn Nets have taken on the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024-25 campaign, they’ve boasted vastly different lineups. In their first meeting on Oct. 27, Cam Thomas and Dennis Schroder combined for 61 points in a major upset victory.

Most recently, the Nets came up just short against the Bucks on Dec. 8 while riding Schroder’s 34 points to a five-point loss sans Thomas.

Neither Schroder nor Thomas will suit up for Brooklyn tonight, the former having departed for Golden State and the latter continuing to nurse a hamstring injury.

Trendon Watford and Ziaire Williams join Thomas as absentees, while Dorian Finney-Smith and Ben Simmons could enter that category themselves.

Milwaukee’s star trio of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton all may sit out this evening as well, forcing the Eastern Conference rivals to rely on a “next man up” mentality to secure the win.

As four key players carry the “questionable” tag ahead of tip-off, the third meeting this season may look quite different from its predacessors.

Nets-Bucks is slated for 8 p.m. EST.

A Sweden-based communications company has inked a lease at the 833 East office building in downtown Milwaukee.

Axis Communications, which provides network solutions for video surveillance, access control, intercom and audio systems, will occupy about 8,870 square feet on the building’s 11th floor, according to permit applications filed with the City of Milwaukee.

The company, which was founded in 1984 and had $1.6 billion in sales in 2023, its website says, has offices globally with its nearest offices being in Chicago and Minneapolis.

The 358,000-square-foot 833 East building, located at 833 E. Michigan St., was developed in 2016 by Wauwatosa-based development firm Irgens. At the time, it was the first new multitenant office building built in downtown Milwaukee in more than a decade.

Today, the building is about 92% occupied, according to Mike Wanezek, partner at Colliers | Wisconsin and listing broker for the building.

Amid the flight to quality trend in the office market, in which tenants are increasingly opting for higher-quality space, 833 East has gained several tenants in recent years, including RBC Wealth Management, Wells Fargo, Marietta Investments and Potawatomi Ventures, among others.

Wanezek said there are other lease extensions and expansions in progress at the building as well.

Axis Communications did not respond to a request for comment.
