Traditional chanukiot lined the lanes of the Rova, by some of these Hanukkah menorahs young men were sitting and watching the flames.
The Hurva Synagogue had a light projection on its walls, as did many other locations along the route for holiday crowds.
Elephants, Maccabees, donuts, candle lighting at the Kossel and in Mamilla Mall and more, families were out in large numbers, walking in the mild temperatures, to witness the miracle of another Hanukkah in Yerushalayim
