Another #Hanukkah tradition is to spin the dreidel, a spinning top featuring four Hebrew letters. #DYK the letters change according to your location? They stand for "A great miracle✨ happened here / there", depending on whether you are in #Israel or not. (🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️/)

And of course, we light #Hanukkah candles. On each of the holiday’s 8⃣ nights, another 🕯️ is added. While the initial 🔥 is not diminished, it creates a greater light, symbolizing that when sharing, our portion is not diminished, but enlarged. (🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️/) 📸Erez Vansover

To commemorate the miracle of the cruse of oil that lasted 8 days and kept the flame 🔥 of the #Menorah alive, we traditionally eat foods fried in oil, usually latkes (potato pancakes 🥞) or #sufganiyot, doughnuts taken to the next level🍩🚀 (🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️/) #HappyHanukkah

Speaking of the #Menorah 🕎, #DYK it is so significant in #Jewish tradition, symbolizing the ideal of universal enlightenment, that it has become the official emblem of the State of #Israel? The olive branches represent 🇮🇱 aspiration for #peace 🕊️ (🕯️🕯️🕯️/) #HanukkahSameach

Regrettably, C/@JanezLenarcic has fallen into the age-old trap of anti Israel propaganda by retweeting false&baseless accusations in an EU-funded @NRC_Norway report. Opting for sensationalism, the authors must’ve hoped that readers won't delve deeper beyond the report’s headline.
