Hanukkah

A Hanukkah candlelighting in Australia became the scene of a terror attack, showing how appeasement of global antisemitism now spills into deadly violence.

Ancient Greek culture, based on Aristotle’s philosophy, believed only in what is 'before the eyes' – what can be seen, touched, measured, and proven.

Walla also learned that Shira, Ran Gvili's sister, was invited by Israeli Consul General in New York, Ofir Akunis, to light the fifth Hanukkah candle at the Consulate General. 

For Australia, this attack was a turning point, a collision with the progression of "This doesn't happen here" to "What do we do now?"

The cast of Eretz Nehederet was joined by Rabbi Elhanan Danino, Ori’s father, as he recited the Hanukkah blessing and lit a menorah made of cups to resemble the one the six hostages lit in captivity.

ISRAEL-is launches global campaign calling on Jews worldwide to light the eighth candle with pride

Hanukkah is arguably the best-known of all the Jewish holidays, despite not being one of the high holidays. This year, however, Hanukkah has been in the news for more harrowing reasons.

The pope expressed his pride in Israel’s diverse and thriving Christian communities, who will gather at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem for an annual festive meeting in the coming weeks.
