A menorah was installed at the Kosel in Yerushalayim’s Old City on Sunday ahead of Chanukah, which begins on the evening of Dec. 14.
The bronze menorah, which measures some 6.5 by 6.5 feet, will be lit every evening during the eight-day Yom Tov, the Western Wall Foundation said.
Every evening, a candle-lighting ceremony will be held in the presence of Hamas captivity survivors, public figures, injured Israeli soldiers, bereaved families, rabbonim and others.
The events, which will be accompanied by an orchestra, will take place every day at 4:30 p.m., except for Friday, Dec. 19, and Motzoei Shabbos, Dec. 20, when the chanukiyah will be lit at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., respectively. JNS
