We will set out to experience the light of Hanukkah in the bustling streets of Bnei Brak.

The commandment to light candles on each of the eight days of Hanukkah embodies the mitzvah of publicizing the miracle—pirsumei nisa—in memory of the great miracle of the Maccabees’ victory over the Greeks. According to tradition, the hanukkiah is placed in a home’s window or doorway so that passersby can see it, thereby fulfilling the mitzvah of publicizing the miracle.

A tour of Bnei Brak is fascinating. At times, it feels like touring a foreign country, among an unfamiliar people or community. We will experience the light of Hanukkah and see how it is celebrated throughout this intriguing neighborhood.

During the tour, we will glimpse the bustling life of Hasidic courtyards, schools, shtiblekh, and the local market, and listen to the distinctive voices and sounds emerging from the homes during Hanukkah. This is a rare opportunity to peek into this fascinating world, uncover local secrets, and have an engaging conversation with the neighbor we have never spoken to before.
