Chanukah and the Winter

Spending Chanukah or any part of the winter in Jerusalem is like stepping into a living tapestry of history, light, and celebration. The city glows—literally—with menorahs in windows, music in the streets, and the scent of sufganiyot wafting from every bakery. And if you’re staying in one of our Kosher Vacation Apartments, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy it all with comfort, authenticity, and halachic peace of mind. Our apartments are all centrally located and near everything.
