Cork s Jewish community to celebrate Hanukkah online
“It’s deeper than people I think. It’s the shared connectiveness we have with the holiday. Even if you don’t know what Hanukkah is and you turn up to the lamp lighting, it seems really special and really magical in a way.

The Jewish community in Cork is celebrating Hanukkah online this year as Covid-19 limits what is traditionally a family occasion to gather and celebrate.
The festival of light and hope began Thursday evening at sunset as the moveable feast brought Jewish families together to light the first candle of the chanukiah or menorah.
