Orthodox Jews in Stamford Hill

Chanukah lasts for 8 days and is the Jewish festival of light. It commemorates the rededication of the temple after it had been defiled. A candle is lit every night. In order to bring light to the world some put the candles in their front windows. Here on the 5th day of Chanukah menorahs are placed the doorways of a local household.
