If Chanukah can be summed up this year, it will probably be a sign of a border breach. For the first time in many years, due to the warming of relations between Israel and the various Arab countries, menorah lighting ceremonies have been published in particularly unusual places throughout the globe. Just before the end of the holiday, we collected some particularly fascinating photos from different areas where you would not expect to find a menorah.

First and foremost are the members of the IDF's submarine crews. Their pictures must not be published, they must not disclose the nature of their operation, and certainly must not know where they operate at a given moment, but it is precisely these details that stimulate the imagination, and the understanding that they protect the State of Israel far from home For tremendous pride.

The Navy’s Instagram people on Saturday night released an amazing record that reveals taps and hides taps. Five fighters in the 7th Cruise look at her menorah with seven lit candles. The submarine must not light a fire, so the fighters classified with an electric menorah were satisfied. "That's how a seventh candle lights up!", They wrote. "At the depth of the enemy, in the submarine. The 7th Fighters may be far from home, but always close to the heart."

And this is not the only menorah that symbolizes supreme courage. At the weekend, Israel Today reported that A, a resident of an enemy state that has no diplomatic relationship with Israel, lit the Chanukah candles secretly in his home. In a conversation with the Yad Layim representative, he related his feelings and suggested: "Let us discuss the Holy Torah."

At the same time, candles were also lit in Kurdistan, Iran and even Dubai. Instagram page "Kosherdubai" posted a picture of the entire lit menorah in front of the UAE's huge towers, including the Burj Khalifa Tower, the tallest tower in the world.
