Yeshivas across Israel marked the first night of Hanukkah with spirited candlelighting ceremonies and celebrations. From high schools in the Golan Heights to major Torah institutions in Jerusalem, students and staff gathered to light the menorah, sing traditional prayers, and dance together. Each institution brought its own unique atmosphere to the festivities, with some focusing on music and Torah lessons, while others emphasized prayer and communal singing. The celebrations reflected a deep sense of unity and spiritual joy as the holiday began.
