Old City Chanukah Candle Lighting

Orthodox Jews light candles on the third night of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, in the Nachla’ot neighbourhood in Jerusalem. Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple. The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a ‘hanuckia’- a nine-branched candelabrum, with one additional light being lit on each night of the holiday. December 26, 2016.
