Last night marked the seventh and final night of Hanukkah. As this was my first Hanukkah in Israel, I was excited to see what Tel Aviv had in store for the holiday. I was not disappointed. Everywhere I went, there were Hanukkyot (Hebrew plural for Hanukkiah) and every group I was with did a candle-lighting ceremony. Day 1 יום אחד (Outside Broshim Dorms) (At my International Senate meeting) Day 2 יום שני Did I mention the donuts (sufganiyot)? They are everywhere! (Photo Courtesy of https://www.amny.com/eat-and-drink/sufganiyot-where-to-find-nyc-s-top-hanukkah-doughnuts-1.12718789) Day 3 יום שלוש (At the Debate for Peace conference closing ceremony) Day 4 יום רביעי (Shabbat dinner in the dorms - we had to make due with the candles we had) Day 5 יום חמישי I FaceTimed with my parents instead of going out. I did have a lovely view of my neighbors' hanukkyot. Day 6 יום שש (My classmates' Hanukkah party) (Walking back from the party, Rabin Square) Day 7 יום שבע (Street corner in Ramat Aviv) Day 8 יום שמונה (In the Naftali Social Sciences building at Tel Aviv University) (Back to the dorms)
Chag sameach (happy holidays) everyone! |
