Last night I light my Hanukkiah at the Kotel with the Women of the Wall and Sarah Silverman. It was an amazing experience.

I got there a early so I was able to see the Official Kotel Hanukkiah lighting (although I did not plan to be there for it). There will be another post about that later.

I decided to get a travel size Hanukkiah and wanted one that is light and folds up easily. I ended up getting one by Yair Emanuel that features the seven species (Shiv'at HaMinim). The problem that I had tonight is that my Hanukkah candles are smaller than the holes on it so I had to burn the bottoms of the candles and stick them to the Hanukkiah very fast. I still really like it.

There are seven species listed in Deuteronomy 8:8 as being special to the Land of Israel - wheat, barley, grapes (wine), figs, pomegranates, olives (oil), and dates (honey).
