Photos: Remnants of the Jerusalem Snowstorm


Hi Everyone!

Today, I traveled by bus to Jerusalem to see the remnants of
the Jerusalem snowstorm. At Ammunition Hil, I took the light rail
to Safra Square (city hall).

I posted photos at:
www.history-of-israel.co.il/jerusalem/2013/jer371.htm

I also upload copies to a Facebook album at:

Enjoy the photos.

Have a good night,

Photos of The Giant Chanukiah in Mevaseret Adumim


Hi Everyone!

On Monday night, 6th candle lighting of Chanukah, a group of
enthusiastic youths from Ma’ale Adumim built a giant
Chanukiah in Mevaseret Adumim.

The Chanukiah was made with approximately 400 tealight
candles with sand in falafel bags placed on the side of the mountain.
This was a unique way to publicize the miracle of Chanukah.

Thanks to Chava Docks who sent me the photos which I placed online at:

Enjoy the photos.

Chanukah Sameach and Chodesh Tov,
Jacob
