I know, I know, Chanuka ended last night. But I just HAD to share these memories for James' Weekend Reflections.
The proper way is to display your chanukia (Chanuka menorah) in a window or at the door or even outside in order to "publicize the miracle" that a cruse of ritually pure olive oil lasted for 8 whole days when the Temple of old was rededicated.
I wonder . . . would showing the Chanuka lights on Skype webcam would qualify as "publicizing the miracle"?
Reflections even on my old table.And my mouse pretended it was part of the celebration by bearing light and changing to the colors of the candles.
.
Tonight we return to the two Sabbath candles.
Gam zu le-tova. Shabbat shalom.

Oh just lovely, especially creative with Skype and then the mouse. Perfect for weekend reflection.
ReplyDeleteMoscow Daily PHoto published a menorah within sight of the Kremlin on the last day of Chanuka.Did you see?
Using your blog to publicize the miracle seems perfect to me. What a way to extend line of sight!
ReplyDeleteLights all around - that is as it should be.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's the perfect publicizing but it's marvellous enough for me!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos, so reflective in many aspects.
ReplyDeleteShabbat Shalom!
Seems to me you publicized the miracle in grand style, with lovely reflections of your menorah as a bonus, Dina!
ReplyDeleteVery nice sharing... It feel warm, all those lights ; we even forget about their religious meanning just by looking at them.
ReplyDeleteI love to see the candles in the Menorah ~ just beautiful.

I love these reflection shots, Dina - very creative! Hope you had a lovely Chanukah.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely. And unique. So is your chanukiah...or at least to me it is. I have not seen a lot of them, and certainly never before one like this. I like it.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos full of spirituality.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Dina. I think of you whenever I see a menorah. Granted, I don't see many menorahs here in Hawaii. Therefore, it's a good thing I can visit you whenever I want on your blog. Have a peaceful, lovely night.
ReplyDeleteThis is really fascinating. All those lights are such an attractive view.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy Hannuka!
The beautiful lights of the Menorah! Lovely posting, Dina!
ReplyDeleteOut into the 12 inches of new snow I go - snowblower hopefully working well this morning!
I took a picture of a Chanuka lamp in a shop window, nothing special, but I was happy to see it there...
ReplyDeletethe third photo is my favorite, i like the composition and style very much...
ReplyDeletehappy weekend! ♫
the last picture with the mouse is nice... like a smiley !

ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I've often thought about trying to take some good photos of candles but you actually did it. The reflections are so nice.
