Chanukah at the Western Wall

As in previous years, Chanukah candles will be lit every night of Chanukah at the Western Wall Plaza, the site closest to the where the miracle of the oil took place.

Presence at the candle-lighting ceremonies will be in accordance to Health Ministry regulations at the time. Additional information will be published on https://www.thekotel.org/

The candles will be lit in a magnificent menorah made of bronze which is over 2 meters high and about 2 meters wide, weighs one ton and took about seven months to create.
The Chanukah candles will be lit according to mehadrin min hamehadrin tradition, with olive oil, in special holders that are wind and rain-proof so the menorah can stay lit throughout the night.
