A large Hanukkia is lit in central Jerusalem, during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, on December 7, 2015. Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple. The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a 'hanuckia'- a nine-branched candelabrum, with one additional light being lit on each night of the holiday.
