Wishing a very happy #Hanukkah to all who celebrate.
973 #Israel Hanukkah #coin: #Hanukkiyah from #EighteenthCentury #Iraq.
It celebrates the traditions of the ancient community that originated there and its descendants & their culture.
it also commemorates the disappearance of the #Jewish communities throughout #MENA: virtually the entire population of circa 850,000 became refugees when forced to emigrate after 1948.
