Hanukkah is a special time in Israel and a great time for tours in Jerusalem. Every night for 8 days each family lights a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched menorah or hanukia, and places it on the window sill for everyone to see.
As you walk the ancient streets of the Jewish quarter in Jerusalem you can see the candle lights reflect from every corner adding a magical feeling to your visit.
According to tradition, the light of a small candle can fight the big darkness around you. So imagine hundreds of candles lit up together in a celebration of lights and festivity. All over Israel the lights of hanukiot shine, bringing a magical feeling to the entire country. Hanukkah is a beautiful time of year for Israel day tours.
