While most of the world was gearing up for the Christmas (or Christmas analog) holidays, we celebrated the festival of Chanukah, my favourite festival of the year. I thought I’d share my Chanukah highlights in a series of photographs.
I usually take photos on each of the eight days of the candles, and this year was no exception. That said, I decided to add some variations to my collection so I wasn’t just capturing our candles that we lit each night.
Instead, I took opportunities to include other people’s candles, whether they were neighbours, or family we visited.

We also lit our candles on the fourth night. 
Another neighbour has this menorah on the wall of their balcony that you can see from the street. I really like this. 
We joined our neighbours for a communal celebration for the fourth night.

I thought I’d go with a black and white look for the fifth night’s candles. 
We spent the sixth night at family. I really like the colours in this photo. 
Here’s my wife lighting the candles on the seventh night. 
One of the reasons I love living in Israel is that we literally have a menorah on street corners. 
I love this photo of our daughter’s hand on my wife’s hand as she lit the last night’s candles. 
And on the last night, the full set.
