Nadvorna Rebbe Prepares Chanukah Candles Amidst Yom Kippur Observances

The Nadvorna Hasidic dynasty in Jerusalem marked the conclusion of Yom Kippur with traditional observances, culminating in the preparation of Chanukah candles by the Rebbe himself. The events, documented throughout the evening and night of the Day of Atonement, began with the Tashlikh prayer, a symbolic casting away of sins, followed by a ritual slaughter of a chicken known as the 'Mekalkel Chaim Tisch'.

As Yom Kippur drew to a close, the Rebbe was seen on stage preparing the wax for the Chanukah candles. The day concluded with the Havdalah ceremony, separating the holy day from the mundane, and a celebratory Tisch (gathering) accompanied by drumming and dancing, signifying the joyous end of the solemn fast.
