Sunrider Israel Celebrates Hanukkah

Last week, the Jewish holiday Hanukkah was celebrated in Israel. During every day of Hanukkah, which is celebrated for eight days, it’s customary to light candles in a Hanukkiya or Hanukkah Menorah, to mark the success of the Maccabees rebellion against the Greeks in the second century BC. In celebration of Hanukkah, we held a festive candle-lighting ceremony at the Sunrider Israel offices on Wednesday, December 16 with employees and IBOs. We lit the candles in a special wooden Sunrider Hanukkiya, built by the Jibly family, and during the event, jam-filled doughnuts (which are a traditional Hanukkah food) were handed to all participants. This was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate this holiday in a unique and joyful Sunrider atmosphere.
