Sefarad-Israel Centre celebrates Hanukkah in Madrid
INTERNATIONALIZATION
Last December 13, the Hanukkah Festival of Lights took place at the Cecilio Rodríguez Gardens in Retiro Park. It was organized by the Sefarad-Israel Centre with the collaboration of the Madrid City Council. The Jewish community of Madrid gathered to commemorate the miracle that occurred more than 2,000 years ago of keeping a candelabrum lit for eight days with oil that was not supposed to not have lasted a single day.
Participating in the event were Estrella Bengio, president of the Jewish Community of Madrid; Jaime Moreno, general director of the Sefarad-Israel Centre; Moshe Bendahan, rabbi of the Jewish Community of Madrid, and José Luis Martínez-Almeida, Mayor of Madrid, who showed the solidarity of the people of Madrid with the Israeli people and appealed to a future of tolerance and coexistence.
