Shalom, dear First Home friends!

As you know all Israelis are now enjoying Hanukkah. Today (December 1st) we are lighting the fourth candle. For the majority of our olim families it is the first Jewish Holiday in the Holy Land. We heartily share the lights of Hanukkah with you and send you the pictures capturing the moments of  its celebration in different kibbutzim. Congratulations on this holiday and let the light be around you!
