On Sunday - December 29, 2019 we met to celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas.

Shai Schwartz lit the eighth candle of Hanukkah, then Father Paul conveyed greetings from nearby Latrun Abbey. Santa Claus came to visit and brought sweets for the children. Our tasty Hannukah doughnut-eating competition was won by village member Samah Salaime. The evening’s highlight was a singing and discussion with the Rana Choir from Jaffa.

At the end of our charming, bright and festive evening the entire audience joined in the singing.
