My friend Joyce (from the Netherlands) and I went to Jerusalem to meet up with some other friends in Bethlehem for Christmas Eve.  Joyce and I wanted to go to the Christmas Caroling Concert at the International YMCA Jerusalem.  Right across the street is the world-famous King David Hotel - the most luxurious hotel in Israel.  We wanted to check it out.  When we entered the lobby, we saw in the back there was a giant Chanukiyah (Chanukah Menorah) and below it was a table with dozens of small Chanukiyot, some lit and some waiting to be lit.  Well... Joyce and I thought we should help light one, so I put on one of the Kippas (Yarmulkas) sang the blessing as quietly as I could (I am not that good and I didn't want anyone correcting me).  It was really special.  And four is one of my favorite numbers.  I got to light the fourth night Chanukiyah in the KING DAVID HOTEL!  So Cool!
