Each night of Chanukah, bochurim Saadia Weingarten, Gedalia Hertz and Yaakov Bennish, students at Yeshiva Gedolah of London, distributed Menorahs and doughnuts at London’s Heathrow Airport.
The boys were stationed at the El Al gates as flights departed for Israel, accompanied by Rabbi Hershi Vogel, Shliach in West London, UK, who also serves as the Airport’s chaplain.
A large Menorah was also set up in the Check-in area, thanks to the efforts of Rabbi Dovid Katz, Shliach in West Hampstead, London.
On one of their visits, the Israeli ambassador to the UK, Daniel Taub, who happened to be flying back to Israel, posed for a photo in front of the Menorah with Rabbi Vogel and El-Al executives.
Menorahs and hundreds of doughnuts were distributed in the King David lounge each night, and a Menorah was lit every night at the gate with over 100 people participating.
After the flights left, the bochurim arranged a Chanukah party with a Menorah lighting in the El-Al security office as well.
