The first Hanukkah candle was lit in a grand ceremony at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, marking the beginning of the eight-day Festival of Lights. The event is particularly poignant this year, as it includes the participation of families of hostages, bereaved families, and wounded IDF soldiers, reflecting themes of resilience and hope. The central menorah, made of cast bronze and standing over two meters tall, was specially prepared for this occasion.

The lighting ceremony will take place every evening from December 25, 2024, to January 1, 2025, at 4:30 PM, with musical accompaniment and public participation encouraged. This year's events are dedicated to honoring "the miracles, the mighty deeds, and the wars," emphasizing the significance of unity and remembrance during these challenging times.
