Memorable Hanukkah Delight
Illuminating Taipei with Joy and Unity in 5784
The celebration of Hanukkah in the Jewish year 5784 has come to a joyful close, but the memories of that day, filled with laughter, energy, and emotion, linger on. Members of the Jewish community gathered beneath the stunning backdrop of Taipei 101, spending a beautiful evening together.
Under the lovely weather, children extended their little hands to join adults in preparing for the event. The earnest participation in DIY activities brought a warmth and emotion that remains unforgettable. This resonates deeply with our cherished Jewish values of unity and the importance of family.
After a delightful afternoon of celebrations, as night fell, the climax of the festival arrived—the lighting ceremony of the Hanukkah menorah! Led by Rabbi Shlomi Tabib, people prayed and lit the candles. Against the backdrop of the beautiful Taipei 101, it was a heartwarming and joyous celebration.
Delicious traditional treats, entertaining DIY activities, and spectacular performances made the celebration a joy for everyone. Even many passing Taiwanese friends, drawn by the captivating performances, joined us to experience the beauty of Hanukkah.
As balloons symbolizing peace ascended, echoing the blue and white colors of Israel, everyone made wishes, sending them together towards the sky.
What a beautiful day, blending religious traditions, meaningful celebrations, and entertainment for all ages. We not only illuminated Hanukkah but also illuminated Taipei. May this beautiful spirit continue to light up our lives and the world in the coming year.
Let’s enjoy some photos from the 5784 Hanukkah celebration and relive the emotions of that day together!
