It's Chanuka!!!

We just lit candles for the first night of chanuka. It was so awesome to be able to light outside in Israel. We set up a table right near our front door and David lit his menorah/chanukia there. All the neighbors were out and came by to watch. We then proceeded inside for the kids to light their handmade chanukiot. Zvi and Leora said their brachot so beautifully and Yeshaya was excited to be holding a lit candle. Rivka was not here with us as she went up to Zichron Yaakov to spend a few days with Maya and the rest of the Hageges. We will post some pictures when Rivka returns so that she could be included.

Wishing everyone a Chag Sameach!! (it's so neat that everyone says that to each other here)
