city of Jerusalem as Jews through
out the world ushered in the eight
day festival of lights which his
torically marks the Macabbean re-
volt against the Graeco-Syrians
over 1000 years ago.
This year the ceremony of the
lighting of the outdoor candelabra
marked not only the Jewish battle
for independence centuries ago,
but also their recent blows for
freedom in establishing a state,
beating off the Arab invaders and,
more recently, announcing contin-
uance of the transfer of the seat
of the government to this city
despite the UN decision to place
Jerusalem under an international
t1usteeship.
The memorials were placed on
Mt. Zion, to the south of the city,
on Mt. Scopus to the east; and on
Herzl Hill, to the west.
