The Chief Rabbi of Netanya, Rabbi Kalman Bar, lit Hanukkah candles in Netanya with the Chairman of the Knesset Committee, MK Nir Orbach.
"I have known Nir for 35, maybe 40 years," said Rabbi Kalman Bar. "I was Nir's rabbi. I wish him much success - he has what it takes to sanctify the name of God as a Knesset member."
