The ambassadors of Morocco to the US and the UN met with their counterparts from Israel on Thursday to celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah.

Morocco’s Ambassador to the US Lalla Joumala El Alaoui met with her Israeli counterpart, Ron Dermer, in Washington, D.C.

The Israeli ambassador gifted El Alaoui an ancient Hanukkah menorah, which the Jewish community in Morocco used for centuries. The menorah is a ceremonial Jewish candelabra lit during Hanukkah, a religious holiday that began this year on December 10 and ends today, December 18.
