Candle Lighting on the Dam: The Experience

This is what the Dam looks like just days before Christmas. Holiday shoppers are everywhere, there is a huge christmas tree brought in from Trondheim, Norway (where Monica and Daniel lived coincidentally) and it feels like winter!

Well, tonight, there was an addition... a HUGE Menorah that was going to be lit by the Mayor of Amsterdam. We watched from a huge group of Jews and non-Jews. Luckily it wasn't too cold so it was actually pleasant to stand outside on this lovely winter night to say the prayers and sing Ma'oz Tzur with the crowd.
