We Came to the Darkness: A musical Hanukkah tour in Jerusalem with Galil Horesh

|About two hours
Guided tour
Not Accessible
Approx. 2 Hours
Join a musical Hanukkah tour in the Jewish Quarter. Wander through the Old City’s glowing alleys, sing Hanukkah and Jerusalem songs with guitar, explore customs, and light candles with locals. The tour includes hot tea and a donut for every participant.

Many traditions are connected to the Hanukkah holiday: the Maccabees, the miracle of the oil pan and even the ancient man, and all these traditions are connected to the light that shines in the darkness. The Hanukkah holiday is a holiday of light, and during this period the Jewish quarter is spectacular in its beauty.

In a musical Hanukkah tour, we will walk around the Jewish quarter, talk about the customs of the holiday, their origin, the songs that were written and the heroes of the time. We will talk about heroism in general, and about the contemporary heroes that we have been exposed to in the last two years. 

Hanukkah is a holiday that is celebrated precisely in the darkest days - precisely those, banished with the help of light. We will see the most special menorahs in the Jewish quarter, and we will even light our own menorah. The tour will be accompanied by guitar and songs, and the audience is invited to join in Hanukkah and Jerusalem songs.
The tour is suitable for adults, individuals and families, you can also contact to receive an offer for a private tour for a group.
