This is another photo of the first night of Hanukkah candle lighting ceremony at Al Faw Palace, near Baghdad International Airport, December 25, 2005. I may have taken this picture and sent it to LtJG Laurie Zimmet and others for posting. The Hanukya is actually larger than it looks in this picture.  It’s looks smaller that its 9 - 10 feet height because its next to a 13 - 15 foot Christmas tree.
