Light Your Way to Israel

Chanukah, also known as the "Festival of Lights," begins this evening, Friday, December 11th. To mark the upcoming holiday, the Israel Ministry of Tourism announced the launch of a dedicated Chanukah microsite, where travelers** can log on and light virtual candles for each night of the eight-day holiday. The site was developed in New York in cooperation with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and will "go live" today at "Light Your Way to Israel" site.

With each candle "lit," visitors to the Chanukah website will be able to access more information about travel to Israel. And at the end of the holiday, site visitors who have lit all eight candles will be entered to win a free trip to Israel aboard El Al Israel Airlines to experience the country's many areas.

** The promotion is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 21 years of age or older at the time of entry.
