Hanukkah 2025 — Celebrating the Festival of Light, with images of Light…May Light help us find our way, and peace and beauty prevail!

We wish all our readers a Happy Hanukkah!

In these difficult times, and  in the wake of the horror in Sydney,  the spirit of Light is needed even more than ever — so, as we’ve done in the past, we want to celebrate Light. 

Here are some images of Light and Lights in and around various synagogues in Europe — chandeliers, ner tamid,  and stained glass; and sunlight streaming on facades or through windows.

May Light help us find our way, and peace and beauty prevail!
