By Gerald Lennon We celebrate Hanukkah every year - it s a big part of my family celebrations.
Raquel Schonker, 19, is spending her second Hanukkah away from her family who live in Australia.
Now living in Belfast, she was not able to find traditional Jewish candles in the city but luckily her grandmother sent her a chanukiah and ner mitzvah candles to light during the festival. It s my favourite Jewish holiday - it s a family holiday for us and considering the circumstances we have been able to do what we can to get to share it together, she said.
