The dancing candles of Hanukkah

The lights of Hanukkah

The singer of Tifereth Israel Synagogue in New York asked us to create an animation for Hanukkah.
Hanukkah is the Jewish holiday that celebrates the reclaiming of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Maccabees in the 2nd century BCE. It involves lighting a menorah for eight nights.
The candles are the most important feature of Hanukkah.

The congregation lights the candles

The singer sings a Hanukkah song in Ladino, the language of the Jews of Spain and the Middle East. It is about lighting the candles and eating the traditional sweets of Hanukkah.
The children of the congregation light the candles.

Music and lights

The pastelikos, the sweet Hanukkah pastry, dance to the music played by the musicians of the Colón Theatre Orchestra. The Colón Theatre is the most important opera house in Argentina.
