Hi Everyone!

This evening, 2nd candle lighting of Chanukah, a group of enthusiastic youths and adults from Ma’ale Adumim built a giant Chanukiah in Mevaseret Adumim.
The Chanukiah was made with approximately 400 candles with sand in falafel bags placed on the side of the mountain. Anyone traveling tonight and tomorrow night on the Jerusalem – Dea Sea highway will be able to see the lit Chanukiah. This is a unique way to publicize the miracle of Chanukah.

Photos of the above can be seen at:
