Candles on the first night of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea Shearim. 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 “hanukkiyah,” a nine-branched candelabrum with one additional light being lit on each night of the holiday. Dec. 24, 2016.
