Hanukkah or the Festival of Lights is not quite as big for Jews as Christmas is for Christians, but in Jerusalem it makes quite the impression. We had the opportunity to visit Jerusalem (for the last time since the war began) on the last day of Hanukkah, and we got to see the lighting of the Menorah at the Western Wall. It was a very solemn assembly, in many levels, considering the political situation.
Afterward, we walked around the Jewish Quarter and we were amazed at the beauty of the mostly empty streets lit by Menorahs.
