Share the Light: How to Celebrate Hanukkah Online
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people have been quarantined in their homes, both in Israel and around the world. Therefore, the World Zionist Organization (WZO) decided to celebrate Hanukkah online. This unique project was named Share the Light. This is stated in press release of the organization.
This project emphasizes that in these difficult times there is a Jewish spark that lies within everyone. A spark of intimacy and belonging, a spark of collective responsibility and hope. Share the Light is an initiative of the World Zionist Organization and the Israeli Ministry of Cyber and National Digital Affairs.

“As part of the project, we created an online platform where Jews from all over the world can upload photos of themselves lighting candles and wishing Happy Hanukkah to their family, friends and the entire Jewish people. These photographs will be combined into a unique digital collage and posted online,” the press release says.
The collage will also be displayed on the outer wall of the National Institutions Building in Jerusalem, where the WZO headquarters are located, as a huge video projection.
