Jerusalem in Hanukkah – Magical Guided Tours Full of Light and Stories
During Hanukkah, Jerusalem wraps itself in a magical winter blanket. We invite you to a festive candlelight tour filled with menorahs, songs, and sufganiyot.
Explore Nachlaot, Shaarei Chesed, or the Jewish Quarter of the Old City on a journey through the traditions of light, spinning tops, miracles, and victory – a tour full of Jerusalem magic.
We’ll hear stories, riddles, and customs of the holiday, and discover the powerful tale of the Maccabees’ battle against the Greeks – right where it happened. Together we’ll light candles and finish with a sweet, warm sufganiya. Suitable for adult or family groups. Truly the most magical experience of Hanukkah.
Theatrical Hanukkah Tour with an Actress
Join a guided theatrical tour led by an actress who brings Hanukkah stories to life – in the Old City, Nachlaot, Yemin Moshe, or any location you choose.
Hanukkah in Nachlaot
A theatrical walk through picturesque Nachlaot: personal miracle stories, traditional foods, and colorful characters like Pnina the Moroccan cook, a local beggar, a matchmaker, and a female Palmach fighter – all sharing stories of Jewish resilience. Light, laughter, and flickering candles throughout.
Hanukkah in Ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem
Tour through Geula and the neighborhoods around Mea Shearim. Learn about Hasidic traditions, hear the story of Agnon's “The Fable of the Goat,” meet a matchmaker, a Rebbe’s daughter, and a beggar – for a unique theatrical tour into one of Jerusalem’s most fascinating communities.
Old City Hanukkah Tour
Follow the glowing candles through the alleyways of the Old City and the historic story of rededication. Meet Hanukkah-era figures like a Greek soldier and a Jewish woman, plus Jerusalemites like Georgia, a female fighter, and Rochel from the 19th century. A moving theatrical experience.
