Likud MK May Golan, Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz join Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion for candle lighting ceremony at the Western Wall.
Candle lighting for the first night of Hanukkah took place Sunday evening in the presence of the rabbi of the Western Wall and holy sites, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz; the mayor of Jerusalem, Mr. Moshe Lion, MK May Golan (Likud), Director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation Mordechai (Suli) Eliav and the general public.
Rabbi of the Western Wall and holy sites, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz said at Sunday evening’s ceremony: “Whoever makes their way to the modest plaza at the foot of the ancient stones and joins the tens of thousands who come to the Western Wall every day, sees that the Western Wall continues to be a place of connection and unity.”
“They see a place where prayers of every kind are recited alongside each other. They see traditional prayers and those that spontaneously erupt from the heart. Everyone is attracted to the Western Wall and to the light that shines from it onto the nation and out to the entire world. This year again, we will light the menorah at the Western Wall Plaza every night of Hanukkah.”
